[PATCH 4.14 028/121] page_poison: play nicely with KASAN

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 04 2019 - 04:55:25 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 4117992df66a26fa33908b4969e04801534baab1 ]

KASAN does not play well with the page poisoning (CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING).
It triggers false positives in the allocation path:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in memchr_inv+0x2ea/0x330
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88881f800000 by task swapper/0
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.0.0-rc1+ #54
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0xe0/0x19a
print_address_description.cold.2+0x9/0x28b
kasan_report.cold.3+0x7a/0xb5
__asan_report_load8_noabort+0x19/0x20
memchr_inv+0x2ea/0x330
kernel_poison_pages+0x103/0x3d5
get_page_from_freelist+0x15e7/0x4d90

because KASAN has not yet unpoisoned the shadow page for allocation
before it checks memchr_inv() but only found a stale poison pattern.

Also, false positives in free path,

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kernel_poison_pages+0x29e/0x3d5
Write of size 4096 at addr ffff8888112cc000 by task swapper/0/1
CPU: 5 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.0.0-rc1+ #55
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0xe0/0x19a
print_address_description.cold.2+0x9/0x28b
kasan_report.cold.3+0x7a/0xb5
check_memory_region+0x22d/0x250
memset+0x28/0x40
kernel_poison_pages+0x29e/0x3d5
__free_pages_ok+0x75f/0x13e0

due to KASAN adds poisoned redzones around slab objects, but the page
poisoning needs to poison the whole page.
