CVE-2024-40949

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: shmem: fix getting incorrect lruvec when replacing a shmem folio When testing shmem swapin, I encountered the warning below on my machine. The reason is that replacing an old shmem folio with a new one causes mem_cgroup_migrate() to clear the old folio's memcg data. As a result, the old folio cannot get the correct memcg's lruvec needed to remove itself from the LRU list when it is being freed. This could lead to possible serious problems, such as LRU list crashes due to holding the wrong LRU lock, and incorrect LRU statistics. To fix this issue, we can fallback to use the mem_cgroup_replace_folio() to replace the old shmem folio.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm: shmem: corrige la obtención de lruvec incorrecto al reemplazar un folio de shmem Al probar shmem swapin, encontré la siguiente advertencia en mi máquina. La razón es que reemplazar una publicación shmem antigua por una nueva hace que mem_cgroup_migrate() borre los datos memcg de la publicación anterior. Como resultado, el folio antiguo no puede obtener el lruvec de memcg correcto necesario para eliminarse de la lista LRU cuando se libera. Esto podría provocar posibles problemas graves, como bloqueos de la lista de LRU debido a que se mantiene el bloqueo de LRU incorrecto y estadísticas de LRU incorrectas. Para solucionar este problema, podemos utilizar mem_cgroup_replace_folio() para reemplazar el antiguo folio shmem.
