[PATCH v5 6/7] mm: userfaultfd: fix missing cache flush in mcopy_atomic_pte() and __mcopy_atomic()

From: Muchun Song
Date: Thu Feb 10 2022 - 07:37:54 EST


The userfaultfd calls mcopy_atomic_pte() and __mcopy_atomic() which do not
do any cache flushing for the target page. Then the target page will be
mapped to the user space with a different address (user address), which might
have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data from the
user to. Fix this by insert flush_dcache_page() after copy_from_user()
succeeds.

Fixes: b6ebaedb4cb1 ("userfaultfd: avoid mmap_sem read recursion in mcopy_atomic")
Fixes: c1a4de99fada ("userfaultfd: mcopy_atomic|mfill_zeropage: UFFDIO_COPY|UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE preparation")
