------------------------------------------------------ From: Sumanth Korikkar sumanthk@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: add missing mem_hotplug_lock Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:53:52 +0100
From Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst: When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock in write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone variables).
mhp_(de)init_memmap_on_memory() functions can change zone stats and struct page content, but they are currently called w/o the mem_hotplug_lock.
When memory block is being offlined and when kmemleak goes through each populated zone, the following theoretical race conditions could occur: CPU 0: | CPU 1: memory_offline() | -> offline_pages() | -> mem_hotplug_begin() | ... | -> mem_hotplug_done() | | kmemleak_scan() | -> get_online_mems() | ... -> mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() | [not protected by mem_hotplug_begin/done()]| Marks memory section as offline, | Retrieves zone_start_pfn poisons vmemmap struct pages and updates | and struct page members. the zone related data | | ... | -> put_online_mems()
Fix this by ensuring mem_hotplug_lock is taken before performing mhp_init_memmap_on_memory(). Also ensure that mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() holds the lock.
online/offline_pages() are currently only called from memory_block_online/offline(), so it is safe to move the locking there.
