Commit eb66ae030829605d61fbef1909ce310e29f78821 upstream.

This is a backport to stable 4.4.y.

Jann Horn points out that our TLB flushing was subtly wrong for the
mremap() case.  What makes mremap() special is that we don't follow the
usual "add page to list of pages to be freed, then flush tlb, and then
free pages".  No, mremap() obviously just _moves_ the page from one page
table location to another.

That matters, because mremap() thus doesn't directly control the
lifetime of the moved page with a freelist: instead, the lifetime of the
page is controlled by the page table locking, that serializes access to
the entry.

As a result, we need to flush the TLB not just before releasing the lock
for the source location (to avoid any concurrent accesses to the entry),
but also before we release the destination page table lock (to avoid the
TLB being flushed after somebody else has already done something to that
page).

This also makes the whole "need_flush" logic unnecessary, since we now
always end up flushing the TLB for every valid entry.

I have never seen the original patch on mailing lists, so I'll reply to
the backport.

I believe we do control the lifetime of the page with mmap_sem, don't we?

I mean any shoot down of the page from a mapping would require at least
down_read(mmap_sem) and we hold down_write(mmap_sem). Hm?

Could you elaborate on the race with page_mkclean()?

I think the new logic is unnecessary strict (and slow).

Any barely sane userspace must not access the old mapping after
mremap(MREMAP_MAYMOVE) called and must not access the new mapping
before the mremap() returns.

The old logic *should* be safe if this argument valid.

Do I miss something?

For context, the original bug report is public at

Nope. For file-backed pages, someone can come through the file mapping
and free our pages, e.g. through the ftruncate() syscall.

That wouldn't help. Think anonymous pages and try_to_free() rmap walk.
So then I think we'd have to take the anonvma lock or something.

And it's not like we are likely to even do any more flushes, really.
We don't flush for each page, only for each page table. So every 512
pages or so.
