mm/gup: fix gup_fast with dynamic page table folding
Currently to make sure that every page table entry is read just once gup_fast walks perform READ_ONCE and pass pXd value down to the next gup_pXd_range function by value e.g.: static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr) ... pudp = pud_offset(&p4d, addr); This function passes a reference on that local value copy to pXd_offset, and might get the very same pointer in return. This happens when the level is folded (on most arches), and that pointer should not be iterated. On s390 due to the fact that each task might have different 5,4 or 3-level address translation and hence different levels folded the logic is more complex and non-iteratable pointer to a local copy leads to severe problems. Here is an example of what happens with gup_fast on s390, for a task with 3-level paging, crossing a 2 GB pud boundary: // addr = 0x1007ffff000, end = 0x10080001000 static int gup_pud_range(p4d_t p4d, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, unsigned int flags, struct page **pages, int *nr) { unsigned long next; pud_t *pudp; // pud_offset returns &p4d itself (a pointer to a value on stack) pudp = pud_offset(&p4d, addr); do { // on second iteratation reading "random" stack value pud_t pud = READ_ONCE(*pudp); // next = 0x10080000000, due to PUD_SIZE/MASK != PGDIR_SIZE/MASK on s390 next = pud_addr_end(addr, end); ... } while (pudp++, addr = next, addr != end); // pudp++ iterating over stack return 1; } This happens since s390 moved to common gup code with commit d1874a0c2805 ("s390/mm: make the pxd_offset functions more robust") and commit 1a42010cdc26 ("s390/mm: convert to the generic get_user_pages_fast code"). s390 tried to mimic static level folding by changing pXd_offset primitives to always calculate top level page table offset in pgd_offset and just return the value passed when pXd_offset has to act as folded. What is crucial for gup_fast and what has been overlooked is that PxD_SIZE/MASK and thus pXd_addr_end should also change correspondingly. And the latter is not possible with dynamic folding. To fix the issue in addition to pXd values pass original pXdp pointers down to gup_pXd_range functions. And introduce pXd_offset_lockless helpers, which take an additional pXd entry value parameter.
