mm/mempolicy: fix a race between offset_il_node and mpol_rebind_task
Servers happened below panic: Kernel version:5.4.56 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000002c48 RIP: 0010:__next_zones_zonelist+0x1d/0x40 Call Trace: __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x277/0x310 alloc_page_interleave+0x13/0x70 handle_mm_fault+0xf99/0x1390 __do_page_fault+0x288/0x500 do_page_fault+0x30/0x110 page_fault+0x3e/0x50 The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid). So access to zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic. In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol->v.nodes, after this other threads may chang pol->v.nodes before next_node(). This race condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES. So put pol->nodes in a local variable. The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask: CPU0: CPU1: alloc_pages_vma() interleave_nid(pol,) offset_il_node(pol,) first_node(pol->v.nodes) cpuset_change_task_nodemask //nodes==0xc mpol_rebind_task mpol_rebind_policy mpol_rebind_nodemask(pol,nodes) //nodes==0x3 next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210906034658.48721-1-yanghui.def@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: yanghui <yanghui.def@bytedance.com> Reviewed-by: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
