Commit Message

The problem arises because our read() function grabs a lock of the
circular buffer, finds something of interest, then invokes copy_to_user()
straight from the buffer, which in turn takes mm->mmap_sem. In the same
time, the callback mon_bin_vma_fault() is invoked under mm->mmap_sem.
It attempts to take the fetch lock and deadlocks.

This patch does away with protecting of our page list with any
semaphores, and instead relies on the kernel not close the device
while mmap is active in a process.

In addition, we prohibit re-sizing of a buffer while mmap is active.
This way, when (now unlocked) fault is processed, it works with the
page that is intended to be mapped-in, and not some other random page.
Note that this may have an ABI impact, but hopefully no legitimate
program is this wrong.

Also this should have:

Thanks.

Indeed... Either I didn't think that one through, or the copy_to_user
used not to take the mmap_sem.

Do we really need this? The problem was in the code for more than 10 years.
It's not like anyone is exploiting systems because of it.

If we do need it, I should cc: the submission to the same place too, right?

Well now we all have a simple reproducer for it, so yes, it should be
backported.  I'm doing that for all of the syzbot stuff.

Nope, the tag is just fine, that's all that is needed.  I'll add the
above to the patch when applying it to my trees.

thanks,

copy_to_user doesn't, but the fault handler does (the core handler, not
the fault routine in mon_bin.c).  After all, it doesn't want the memory
map to change while a page is being read in to satisfy the fault.
