mm, oom: fix potential data corruption when oom_reaper races with writer
Wenwei Tao has noticed that our current assumption that the oom victim
is dying and never doing any visible changes after it dies, and so the
oom_reaper can tear it down, is not entirely true.
__task_will_free_mem consider a task dying when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set
but do_group_exit sends SIGKILL to all threads _after_ the flag is set.
So there is a race window when some threads won't have
fatal_signal_pending while the oom_reaper could start unmapping the
address space. Moreover some paths might not check for fatal signals
before each PF/g-u-p/copy_from_user.
We already have a protection for oom_reaper vs. PF races by checking
MMF_UNSTABLE. This has been, however, checked only for kernel threads
(use_mm users) which can outlive the oom victim. A simple fix would be
to extend the current check in handle_mm_fault for all tasks but that
wouldn't be sufficient because the current check assumes that a kernel
thread would bail out after EFAULT from get_user*/copy_from_user and
never re-read the same address which would succeed because the PF path
has established page tables already. This seems to be the case for the
only existing use_mm user currently (virtio driver) but it is rather
fragile in general.
This is even more fragile in general for more complex paths such as
generic_perform_write which can re-read the same address more times
(e.g. iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic to fail and then
iov_iter_fault_in_readable on retry).
Therefore we have to implement MMF_UNSTABLE protection in a robust way
and never make a potentially corrupted content visible. That requires
to hook deeper into the PF path and check for the flag _every time_
before a pte for anonymous memory is established (that means all
!VM_SHARED mappings).
The corruption can be triggered artificially
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201708040646.v746kkhC024636@www262.sakura.ne.jp)
but there doesn't seem to be any real life bug report. The race window
should be quite tight to trigger most of the time.
