fork: Annotate a data race in vm_area_dup()
struct vm_area_struct could be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN, write to 0xffff9cf8bba08ad8 of 8 bytes by task 14263 on cpu 35: vma_interval_tree_insert+0x101/0x150: rb_insert_augmented_cached at include/linux/rbtree_augmented.h:58 (inlined by) vma_interval_tree_insert at mm/interval_tree.c:23 __vma_link_file+0x6e/0xe0 __vma_link_file at mm/mmap.c:629 vma_link+0xa2/0x120 mmap_region+0x753/0xb90 do_mmap+0x45c/0x710 vm_mmap_pgoff+0xc0/0x130 ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x1d1/0x300 __x64_sys_mmap+0x33/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x91/0xc44 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe read to 0xffff9cf8bba08a80 of 200 bytes by task 14262 on cpu 122: vm_area_dup+0x6a/0xe0 vm_area_dup at kernel/fork.c:362 __split_vma+0x72/0x2a0 __split_vma at mm/mmap.c:2661 split_vma+0x5a/0x80 mprotect_fixup+0x368/0x3f0 do_mprotect_pkey+0x263/0x420 __x64_sys_mprotect+0x51/0x70 do_syscall_64+0x91/0xc44 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe vm_area_dup() blindly copies all fields of original VMA to the new one. This includes coping vm_area_struct::shared.rb which is normally protected by i_mmap_lock. But this is fine because the read value will be overwritten on the following __vma_link_file() under proper protection. Thus, mark it as an intentional data race and insert a few assertions for the fields that should not be modified concurrently. Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
