btrfs: prevent use-after-free on page private data in btrfs_subpage_clear_uptodate()
This is a stable-only patch. The issue was inadvertently fixed in 6.17 [0] as part of a refactoring, but this patch serves as a minimal targeted fix for prior kernels. Users of find_lock_page() need to guard against the situation where releasepage() has been invoked during reclaim but the page was ultimately not removed from the page cache. This patch covers one location that was overlooked. After acquiring the page, use set_page_extent_mapped() to ensure the page private state is valid. This is especially important in the subpage case, where the private field is an allocated struct containing bitmap and lock data. Without this protection, the race below is possible: [mm] page cache reclaim path [fs] relocation in subpage mode shrink_page_list() trylock_page() /* lock acquired */ try_to_release_page() mapping->a_ops->releasepage() btrfs_releasepage() __btrfs_releasepage() clear_page_extent_mapped() btrfs_detach_subpage() subpage = detach_page_private(page) btrfs_free_subpage(subpage) kfree(subpage) /* point A */ prealloc_file_extent_cluster() find_lock_page() page_cache_get_speculative() lock_page() /* wait for lock */ if (...) ... else if (!mapping || !__remove_mapping(..)) /* * __remove_mapping() returns zero when * page_ref_freeze(page, refcount) fails /* point B */ */ goto keep_locked /* page remains in cache */ keep_locked: unlock_page(page) /* lock released */ /* lock acquired */ btrfs_subpage_clear_uptodate() /* use-after-free */ subpage = page->private [0] 4e346baee95f ("btrfs: reloc: unconditionally invalidate the page cache for each cluster") Fixes: 9d9ea1e68a05 ("btrfs: subpage: fix relocation potentially overwriting last page data") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.15 - 6.9 Signed-off-by: JP Kobryn <inwardvessel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
