Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock

Move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock to prevent race condition
in other components which depend on it. The notifier will invalidate
memory range. Depending upon the number of iterations, different memory
ranges would be invalidated.

The following warning would be removed by this patch:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5067 at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte+0x860/0x960 arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734

There is no behavioural and performance change with this patch when
there is no component registered with the mmu notifier.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: narrow the scope of `range', per Sean]

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: fs/proc/task_mmu: mover el mecanismo de notificación mmu dentro del bloqueo mm Mueva el mecanismo de notificación mmu dentro del bloqueo mm para evitar condiciones de ejecución en otros componentes que dependen de él. El notificador invalidará el rango de memoria. Dependiendo del número de iteraciones, se invalidarían diferentes rangos de memoria. Este parche eliminaría la siguiente advertencia: ADVERTENCIA: CPU: 0 PID: 5067 en arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte+0x860/0x960 arch/ x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 No hay cambios de comportamiento ni de rendimiento con este parche cuando no hay ningún componente registrado con el notificador mmu. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: reduzca el alcance del `rango', según Sean]
