commit e686c32590f40bffc45f105c04c836ffad3e531a upstream.
While experimenting with CXL region removal the following corruption of
/proc/iomem appeared.
Before:
f010000000-f04fffffff : CXL Window 0
f010000000-f02fffffff : region4
f010000000-f02fffffff : dax4.0
f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
After (modprobe -r cxl_test):
f010000000-f02fffffff : **redacted binary garbage**
f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
...and testing further the same is visible with persistent memory
assigned to kmem:
Before:
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
480000000-57e1fffff : namespace3.0
580000000-243fffffff : dax3.0
580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
After (ndctl disable-region all):
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
580000000-243fffffff : ***redacted binary garbage***
580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
The corrupted data is from a use-after-free of the "dax4.0" and "dax3.0"
resources, and it also shows that the "System RAM (kmem)" resource is
not being removed. The bug does not appear after "modprobe -r kmem", it
requires the parent of "dax4.0" and "dax3.0" to be removed which
re-parents the leaked "System RAM (kmem)" instances. Those in turn
reference the freed resource as a parent.
First up for the fix is release_mem_region_adjustable() needs to
reliably delete the resource inserted by add_memory_driver_managed().
That is thwarted by a check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM that predates the
dax/kmem driver, from commit:
