The fault path assumes a\nVM_FAULT_RETRY handler already dropped mmap_lock and re-takes it on the\nretry, so mmap_lock gets taken twice and can deadlock:\n\n\tdo_user_addr_fault()\n\t{\n\t\tfault = handle_mm_fault(...); // calls arena_vm_fault()\n\t\tif (fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY)\n\t\t\tgoto retry; // re-locks mmap_lock\n\t\tmmap_read_unlock(mm);\n\t}\n\nReturn VM_FAULT_SIGBUS instead, for two reasons:\n\n1. We could keep VM_FAULT_RETRY, but then we'd have to drop the fault\n lock first and cap the retry ourselves, the way __folio_lock_or_retry()\n does.\n\n2. A failed raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave() already means a possible deadlock\n was detected, so retrying just hits the same lock again.\n\nSo returning VM_FAULT_RETRY here is overkill." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/bpf/arena.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "b8467290edab4bafae352bf3f317055669a1a458", "lessThan": "af8087f16714f7620c4db3e732baaa1b2337948f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b8467290edab4bafae352bf3f317055669a1a458", "lessThan": "0b10b945479c954393d62ee3229d2f224a4ca91c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/bpf/arena.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "7.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "7.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/af8087f16714f7620c4db3e732baaa1b2337948f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b10b945479c954393d62ee3229d2f224a4ca91c" } ], "title": "bpf: Fix mmap_lock deadlock on arena lock failure", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
