Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/vmscan: fix a bug calling wakeup_kswapd() with a wrong zone index With numa balancing on, when a numa system is running where a numa node
doesn't have its local memory so it has no managed zones, the following
oops has been observed. It's because wakeup_kswapd() is called with a
wrong zone index, -1. Fixed it by checking the index before calling
wakeup_kswapd(). > BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000000033f3

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm/vmscan: corrige un error al llamar a wakeup_kswapd() con un índice de zona incorrecto Con el equilibrio numa activado, cuando se ejecuta un SYSTEM numa donde un nodo numa no tiene su memoria local por lo que no tiene zonas administradas, se ha observado lo siguiente. Es porque se llama a wakeup_kswapd() con un índice de zona incorrecto, -1. Se solucionó verificando el índice antes de llamar a wakeup_kswapd(). > ERROR: no se puede manejar el error de página para la dirección: 00000000000033f3 > #PF: acceso de lectura del supervisor en modo kernel > #PF: error_code(0x0000) - página no presente > PGD 0 P4D 0 > Ups: 0000 [#1] SMP PREEMPT NOPTI > CPU: 2 PID: 895 Comm: masim Not tainted 6.6.0-dirty #255 > Nombre del hardware: PC estándar QEMU (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS > rel-1.16.0-0-gd239552ce722-prebuilt.qemu .org 01/04/2014 > RIP: 0010:wakeup_kswapd (./linux/mm/vmscan.c:7812) > Código: (omitido) > RSP: 0000:ffffc90004257d58 EFLAGS: 00010286 > RAX: ffffffffffffffff RBX: ffff88883f ff0480RCX: 0000000000000003 > RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88883fff0480 > RBP: ffffffffffffffff R08: ff0003ffffffffff R09: ffffffffffffffff > R10: ff ff888106c95540 R11: 0000000055555554 R12: 0000000000000003 > R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00000000000000000 R15: ffff88883fff0940 > FS: 0000 7fc4b8124740(0000) GS: ffff888827c00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 > CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 > CR2: 00000000000033f3 CR3: 000000026cc08004 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 > DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 > DR3: 00000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffe0ff0 DR7: 000 0000000000400 > PKRU: 55555554 > Rastreo de llamadas: > > ? __morir > ? page_fault_oops > ? __pte_offset_map_lock > ? exc_page_fault > ? asm_exc_page_fault > ? wakeup_kswapd > migrar_misplaced_page > __handle_mm_fault > handle_mm_fault > do_user_addr_fault > exc_page_fault > asm_exc_page_fault > RIP: 0033:0x55b897ba0808 > Código: (omitido) > RSP: 002b:00007ffeefa821a0 EFLAGS: 00 010287 > RAX: 000055b89983acd0 RBX: 00007ffeefa823f8 RCX: 000055b89983acd0 > RDX: 00007fc2f8122010 RSI: 0000000000020000 RDI: 000055b89983acd0 > RBP: 00007ffeefa821a0 R08: 0000000000000037 R09: 00000000000000075 > R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0 000000000000202 R12: 0000000000000000 > R13: 00007ffeefa82410 R14: 000055b897ba5dd8 R15: 00007fc4b8340000 >
