"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/proc/task_mmu: fix hugetlb self-deadlock in pagemap_scan_pte_hole()\n\nA PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl requesting PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING on a hugetlb VMA hangs\nthe calling thread, unkillably, as soon as the scan reaches an unpopulated\npart of the range:\n\n do_pagemap_scan()\n walk_page_range()\n walk_hugetlb_range()\n hugetlb_vma_lock_read() # take the vma lock for read ...\n pagemap_scan_pte_hole() # ... ->pte_hole() for a hole\n uffd_wp_range()\n change_protection()\n hugetlb_change_protection()\n hugetlb_vma_lock_write() # ... and block taking it for write\n\nwalk_hugetlb_range() holds the hugetlb vma lock for read across the whole\nwalk. A present entry goes to ->hugetlb_entry(); an unpopulated one goes\nto ->pte_hole(), i.e. pagemap_scan_pte_hole(). To write-protect the hole\nthat handler calls uffd_wp_range(), which on a hugetlb VMA reaches\nhugetlb_change_protection() and takes the same vma lock for write. The\nthread then blocks in down_write() waiting for the read lock it is itself\nholding.\n\nThe populated path avoids this: pagemap_scan_hugetlb_entry()\nwrite-protects the entry inline under the page-table lock and never enters\nhugetlb_change_protection().\n\nDo the same for holes. Fault in the page table and install the uffd-wp\nmarker directly with make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() under the page-table lock,\nrather than routing through uffd_wp_range(). That is the same sequence\nhugetlb_change_protection() runs for an unpopulated entry, minus the vma\nwrite lock -- which is safe to skip because PMD sharing is disabled on\nuffd-wp VMAs (hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds() runs at registration), leaving\nnothing for that lock to serialise against."
