[PATCH 5.0 117/146] mm/memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 01 2019 - 13:10:21 EST


5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit cae85cb8add35f678cf487139d05e083ce2f570a upstream.

Aneesh has reported that PPC triggers the following warning when
excercising DAX code:

IP set_pte_at+0x3c/0x190
LR insert_pfn+0x208/0x280
Call Trace:
insert_pfn+0x68/0x280
dax_iomap_pte_fault.isra.7+0x734/0xa40
__xfs_filemap_fault+0x280/0x2d0
do_wp_page+0x48c/0xa40
__handle_mm_fault+0x8d0/0x1fd0
handle_mm_fault+0x140/0x250
__do_page_fault+0x300/0xd60
handle_page_fault+0x18

Now that is WARN_ON in set_pte_at which is

VM_WARN_ON(pte_hw_valid(*ptep) && !pte_protnone(*ptep));

The problem is that on some architectures set_pte_at() cannot cope with
a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.

Use ptep_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PTE.
