[PATCH 3.16 103/129] mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Jul 07 2019 - 15:40:56 EST


3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c10d38cc8d3e43f946b6c2bf4602c86791587f30 upstream.

Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in
get_swap_page_of_type:

Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This
seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is
valid and so "si" can be NULL.

Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to
ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order:

CPU0 CPU1
alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type]

Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before
CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type].

Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads
properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage.

Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model
(see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt).

This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held
(e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles
and the swap_info array.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Add swp_swap_info(), as done in upstream commit 0bcac06f27d7
"mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device"
- Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()
- Adjust context]
