      "title": "mm/rmap: initialize nr_pages to 1 at loop start in try_to_unmap_one",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/rmap: initialize nr_pages to 1 at loop start in try_to_unmap_one\n\nInitialize nr_pages to 1 at the start of each loop iteration, like\nfolio_referenced_one() does.\n\nWithout this, nr_pages computed by a previous folio_unmap_pte_batch() call\ncan be reused on a later iteration that does not run\nfolio_unmap_pte_batch() again.\n\nmmap a 64K large folio with MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_DROPPABLE, then call\nmadvise(MADV_FREE), then make the last page device-exclusive via\nHMM_DMIRROR_EXCLUSIVE.\n\nTrigger node reclaim through sysfs.  Now, in try_to_unmap_one(), we will\nfirst clear the first 15 out of 16 entries mapping the lazyfree folio. \nThis will set nr_pages to 15.  In the next pvmw walk, this nr_pages gets\nreused on a device-exclusive pte, thus potentially corrupting folio\nrefcount/mapcount.\n\nAt the moment, I have a userspace program which can make the kernel spit\nout a trace, but the blow up is in folio_referenced_one(), because there\nare existing bugs in the interaction between device-private and rmap\n(which too I am investigating).  I did a one liner kernel change to avoid\ngoing into folio_referenced_one(), and the kernel blows up at\nfolio_remove_rmap_ptes in try_to_unmap_one which is what I wanted.\n\nNote that the bug is there not since file folio batching but lazyfree\nfolio batching, since device-exclusive only works for anonymous folios.\n\nUserspace visible effect is simply kernel crashing somewhere due to\nrefcount/mapcount corruption.",
