mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}
commit f931ab479dd24cf7a2c6e2df19778406892591fb upstream. Both arch_add_memory() and arch_remove_memory() expect a single threaded context. For example, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c::kernel_physical_mapping_init() does not hold any locks over this check and branch: if (pgd_val(*pgd)) { pud = (pud_t *)pgd_page_vaddr(*pgd); paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr), __pa(vaddr_end), page_size_mask); continue; } pud = alloc_low_page(); paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr), __pa(vaddr_end), page_size_mask); The result is that two threads calling devm_memremap_pages() simultaneously can end up colliding on pgd initialization. This leads to crash signatures like the following where the loser of the race initializes the wrong pgd entry: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff888ebfff0000 IP: memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10 PGD 2f8e8fc067 PUD 0 /* <---- Invalid PUD */ Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU: 54 PID: 3818 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 4.6.7+ #13 task: ffff882fac290040 ti: ffff882f887a4000 task.ti: ffff882f887a4000 RIP: memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10 [..] Call Trace: ? pmem_do_bvec+0x205/0x370 [nd_pmem] ? blk_queue_enter+0x3a/0x280 pmem_rw_page+0x38/0x80 [nd_pmem] bdev_read_page+0x84/0xb0 Hold the standard memory hotplug mutex over calls to arch_{add,remove}_memory().
