Subject: usbdev_mmap causes type confusion in page_table_check

Hi all,

Recently, syzbot reported [1] ("kernel BUG in page_table_check_clear"). After
some bisection, I found out that when usbdev_mmap calls remap_pfn_range on
kmalloc'ed memory, it causes type confusion between struct folio and slab in
page_table_check. As I will explain below, it seems that both usb-side and
mm-side need some fixes. So I have cc'd linux-usb and linux-mm here, as well
as their maintainers, to see whether there are any comments on the proposed
way to fix.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

To handle mmap requests for /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY, usbdev_mmap first allocates
memory by calling usb_alloc_coherent and then maps it into the user space
using remap_pfn_range:

static int usbdev_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
// ...
mem = usb_alloc_coherent(ps->dev, size, GFP_USER | __GFP_NOWARN,
&dma_handle);
// ...
if (hcd->localmem_pool || !hcd_uses_dma(hcd)) {
if (remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start,
virt_to_phys(usbm->mem) >> PAGE_SHIFT,
size, vma->vm_page_prot) < 0) {
// ...
}
}
// ...
}

Note that in this case, we consider the DMA-unavailable scenario, which, to be
honest, is rare in practice. However, syzbot emulates USB devices using a
module named dummy_hcd, and since these devices are emulated, DMA is not
available at all.

Meanwhile, usb_alloc_coherent calls hcd_buffer_alloc, which uses kmalloc for
memory allocation:

void *hcd_buffer_alloc(
struct usb_bus *bus,
size_t size,
gfp_t mem_flags,
dma_addr_t *dma
)
{
// ...
if (!hcd_uses_dma(hcd)) {
*dma = ~(dma_addr_t) 0;
return kmalloc(size, mem_flags);
}
// ...
}

However, during the update of the page table to map the kmalloc'd page into
the user space, page_table_check_set attempts to determine whether the page is
anonymous using PageAnon:

static void page_table_check_set(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr,
unsigned long pfn, unsigned long pgcnt,
bool rw)
{
// ...
anon = PageAnon(page);
for (i = 0; i < pgcnt; i++) {
// ...
if (anon) {
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&ptc->file_map_count));
BUG_ON(atomic_inc_return(&ptc->anon_map_count) > 1 && rw);
} else {
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&ptc->anon_map_count));
BUG_ON(atomic_inc_return(&ptc->file_map_count) < 0);
}
// ...
}
// ...
}

This call to PageAnon is invalid for slab pages because slab reuses the bits
in struct page/folio to store its internal states, and the anonymity bit only
exists in struct page/folio. As a result, the counters are incorrectly updated
and checked in page_table_check_set and page_table_check_clear, leading to the
bug being raised.

Intuitively, I don't think it's reasonable to call remap_pfn_range to map
kmalloc'd pages into the user space. In the past, kmalloc'd pages might have
had alignment issues when certain memory debugging options were enabled.
Although this has been fixed in commit 59bb47985c1d ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee
natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), it has been shown that
performing such mapping is still buggy, as demonstrated by the type confusion
in page_table_check. Therefore, I propose adding a new function,
hcd_buffer_alloc_pages, to guarantee the page requirements (i.e., no
intermediate allocators, such as slab/slub). Below is a diff as a quick
example:

diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/buffer.c b/drivers/usb/core/buffer.c

- return kmalloc(size, mem_flags);
+ return (void *)__get_free_pages(mem_flags, get_order(size));
}

for (i = 0; i < HCD_BUFFER_POOLS; i++) {

(There appears to be another issue. In cases where hcd->localmem_pool is
non-null, I suspect that remap_pfn_range should not be used. This is a DMA
scenario, and the DMA handle is properly returned, so dma_mmap_coherent should
be used instead. Am I correct?)

This does not actually fix the type confusion bug in page_table_check_*. It
should be noted that by leveraging /dev/mem, users can map arbitrary physical
memory regions into the user space, which is also achieved through
remap_pfn_range. I'm not 100% certain whether a fix is necessary, as one may
argue that using page table checks (a kernel hardening technique, which means
security is important) and /dev/mem (clearly insecure and potentially
exploitable) together is completely unreasonable.

If a fix is deemed necessary, I think taking the flag VM_PFNMAP into
consideration is a reasonable solution, that said, in page_table_check_*,
* when the VM_PFNMAP flag is set, all operations and checks on
file_map_count and anon_map_count counters should be bypassed;
* when the VM_PFNMAP flag is not set, an additionally check to ensure
folio_test_slab evaluates to false should be performed.

The implementation should be straightforward. However, I noticed that the
page_table_check_* hooks are called in arch/* instead of mm/*, which not only
limits its supported architectures (currently x86_64, arm64, and risc-v) but
also makes it difficult to get the struct vm_area_struct as a parameter, since
the struct vm_area_struct is not passed from mm/* to arch/* when mapping or
unmapping pages. I have looked at d283d422c6c4 ("x86: mm: add x86_64 support
for page table check"), but I don't see a valid reason. Perhaps Pasha can
provide some explanation about this implementation choice?

Thanks,
Ruihan Li

We should change anon boolean to be:

anon = !PageSlab(page) && PageAnon(page);

This way, we will have a correct way to determine anon pages, and the
rest will fall into file_map_count. The file (non-anon) PTEs are OK to
be double mapped, so there won't be any problems from page_table_check
point of view even if it is a slab page.

Yes, /dev/mem device is a security problem, and would not work with a

We specifically decided not to use VMA information in order to avoid
relying on MM state (except for limited "struct page" info). The
page_table_check is a separate from Linux-MM state machine that
verifies that the user accessible pages are not falsely shared.

No. Slab pages are not elegible for mapping into userspace. That's
all. There should be a BUG() for that. And I do mean BUG(), not
"return error to user". Something has gone horribly wrong, and it's
time to crash.

I'm surprised that we allow mapping slab pages to user space. I somehow
remember that this is a big no-no.

Do we really want to allow that? Are there many such users or is this
the only one?

If we do support it, we might want to update some PageAnon() checks in
mm/gup.c too to exclude slab pages ...

Sure, I can add BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)); to page_table_check_set.

It is just too easy to make slab available via remap_pfn_range(), but
I do not think we want to add BUG() into the remap function, otherwise
we will break devices such as /dev/mem.

Mapping random memory in /dev/mem can cause mapping slab pages in to
userspace, the page->_mapcount is not incremented (and other fields
are not accessed) in that case, as we are using VM_PFNMAP type VMA,
which does not access "struct page".

Slab pages can't be mmaped. Really, no matter what interface you're
using. page->_mapcount is necessarily incremented by mapping to
userspace, and slab uses that space for its own purposes (and has
for decades). It's similar for page tables and other allocations that
use PageType.

We should be using vm_normal_page() to identify if we should be looking
at the struct page or not, no?

For normal Kernel-MM operations, vm_normal_page() should be used to
get "struct page" based on vma+addr+pte combination, but
page_table_check does not use vma for its operation in order to
strengthen the verification of no invalid page sharing. But, even
vm_normal_page() can cause access to the "struct page" for VM_PFNMAP
if pfn_valid(pfn) is true. So, vm_normal_page() can return a struct
page for a user mapped slab page.

I'm not sure if that's the right approach for this case here, though.

That would violate VM_PFNMAP semantics, though. I remember that there
was a trick to it.

Assuming we map /dev/mem, what stops a page we mapped and determined to
be !anon to be freed and reused, such that we suddenly have an anon page
mappped?

In that case, we really don't want to look at the "struct page" ever, no?

Good point. page_table_check just does not work well /dev/mem. I am
thinking of adding BUG_ON(PageSlab(page); and also "depends on
!DEVMEM" for the PAGE_TABLE_CHECK config option.

Agreed. I have previously thought about using something like
anon = !PageSlab(page) && PageAnon(page);
or
BUG(PageSlab(page))
in page_table_check_*. But this just does not work well with /dev/mem,
and cannot be made to work unless something like VM_PFNMAP is involved.
The reason is that both PageSlab(page) and PageAnon(page) can evaluate
to different values when mapping and unmapping the same page, since the
page number can be totally arbitrary.

But if we do not want /dev/mem to work with PAGE_TABLE_CHECK, this is
what I doubted and Pasha confirmed earlier,

we should enforce this explicitly (and perhaps document it explicitly as
well), and the exact way to do this is to make the PAGE_TABLE_CHECK
config option dependent on !DEVMEM.

This also implies that we must fix hcd_buffer_alloc on the usb side as
well. I am also not sure if there are other uses of remap_pfn_range on
slab pages (as David asked earlier) besides usbfs and /dev/mem. Maybe
the calls to remap_pfn_range (and other functions that can map the
userspace memory?) need to be manually checked one by one. But later I
can first try this approach at least, and see if anything goes wrong
(though unlikely).

Thanks,

usb_alloc_coherent and up in the DMA coherent allocator (usually
anyway), and you absolutely must never do a virt_to_phys or virt_to_page
on that return value. This code is a buggy as f**k.

Odd, you gave it a reviewed-by: in commit a0e710a7def4 ("USB: usbfs: fix
mmap dma mismatch") back in 2020 when it was merged as you said that was
the way to fix this up. :)

Do you have a better way to do it now that is more correct? Did some
DMA changes happen that missed this codepath getting fixed up?

thanks,

Sorry, I should not have shouted as quickly. The code is clearly
guarded by the same conditional that makes it not use the DMA API,
so from the DMA API POV this is actually correct, just ugly.

The fix for the actual remap_file_ranges thing is probably something
like this:
