This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fscrypt: lock mutex before checking for bounce page pool to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: fscrypt-lock-mutex-before-checking-for-bounce-page-pool.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From a0b3bc855374c50b5ea85273553485af48caf2f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers(a)google.com> Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2017 06:30:19 -0400 Subject: fscrypt: lock mutex before checking for bounce page pool From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers(a)google.com> commit a0b3bc855374c50b5ea85273553485af48caf2f7 upstream. fscrypt_initialize(), which allocates the global bounce page pool when an encrypted file is first accessed, uses "double-checked locking" to try to avoid locking fscrypt_init_mutex. However, it doesn't use any memory barriers, so it's theoretically possible for a thread to observe a bounce page pool which has not been fully initialized. This is a classic bug with "double-checked locking". While "only a theoretical issue" in the latest kernel, in pre-4.8 kernels the pointer that was checked was not even the last to be initialized, so it was easily possible for a crash (NULL pointer dereference) to happen. This was changed only incidentally by the large refactor to use fs/crypto/. Solve both problems in a trivial way that can easily be backported: just always take the mutex. It's theoretically less efficient, but it shouldn't be noticeable in practice as the mutex is only acquired very briefly once per encrypted file. Later I'd like to make this use a helper macro like DO_ONCE(). However, DO_ONCE() runs in atomic context, so we'd need to add a new macro that allows blocking.

This year, Amlogic updated the ARM Trusted Firmware reserved memory mapping for Meson GXL SoCs and products sold since May 2017 uses this alternate reserved memory mapping. But products had been sold using the previous mapping. This issue has been explained in [1] and a dynamic solution is yet to be found to avoid loosing another 3Mbytes of reservable memory. In the meantime, this patch adds this alternate memory zone only for the GXL and GXM SoCs since GXBB based new products stopped earlier.

[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH 4.4] fscrypt: lock mutex before checking for bounce page pool

by Eric Biggers

commit a0b3bc855374c50b5ea85273553485af48caf2f7 upstream. [Please apply to 4.4-stable.] fscrypt_initialize(), which allocates the global bounce page pool when an encrypted file is first accessed, uses "double-checked locking" to try to avoid locking fscrypt_init_mutex. However, it doesn't use any memory barriers, so it's theoretically possible for a thread to observe a bounce page pool which has not been fully initialized. This is a classic bug with "double-checked locking". While "only a theoretical issue" in the latest kernel, in pre-4.8 kernels the pointer that was checked was not even the last to be initialized, so it was easily possible for a crash (NULL pointer dereference) to happen. This was changed only incidentally by the large refactor to use fs/crypto/. Solve both problems in a trivial way that can easily be backported: just always take the mutex. It's theoretically less efficient, but it shouldn't be noticeable in practice as the mutex is only acquired very briefly once per encrypted file. Later I'd like to make this use a helper macro like DO_ONCE(). However, DO_ONCE() runs in atomic context, so we'd need to add a new macro that allows blocking.
