      mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap cache · feb889fb
      Linus Torvalds authored
      So technically there is nothing wrong with adding a pinned page to the
      swap cache, but the pinning obviously means that the page can't actually
      be free'd right now anyway, so it's a bit pointless.
      
      However, the real problem is not with it being a bit pointless: the real
      issue is that after we've added it to the swap cache, we'll try to unmap
      the page.  That will succeed, because the code in mm/rmap.c doesn't know
      or care about pinned pages.
      
      Even the unmapping isn't fatal per se, since the page will stay around
      in memory due to the pinning, and we do hold the connection to it using
      the swap cache.  But when we then touch it next and take a page fault,
      the logic in do_swap_page() will map it back into the process as a
      possibly read-only page, and we'll then break the page association on
      the next COW fault.
      
      Honestly, this issue could have been fixed in any of those other places:
      (a) we could refuse to unmap a pinned page (which makes conceptual
      sense), or (b) ...

      We are not guaranteed the locking environment that would prevent
      dentry getting renamed right under us.  And it's possible for
      old long name to be freed after rename, leading to UAF here.
