bpf/arena: fix softlockup in arena_map_free on 64k page kernel
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On an aarch64 kernel with CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y (64k pages),
arena_htab tests cause a segmentation fault and soft lockup.

$ sudo ./test_progs -t arena_htab
Caught signal #11!

 kernel:watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 26s! [kworker/u8:4:7589]

The same failure is not observed with 4k pages on aarch64.

Investigating further, it turns out arena_map_free() was calling
apply_to_existing_page_range() with the address returned by
bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start().  If this address is not page-aligned -
as is the case for a 64k page kernel - we wind up calling apply_to_pte_range()
with that unaligned address.  The problem is apply_to_pte_range() implicitly
assumes that the addr passed in is page-aligned, specifically in this loop:

		do {
                        if (create || !pte_none(ptep_get(pte))) {
                                err = fn(pte++, addr, data);
                                if (err)
                                        break;
                        }
                } while (addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);

If addr is _not_ page-aligned, it will never equal end exactly.

One solution is to round up GUARD_SZ to PAGE_SIZE << 1 so that the
division by 2 in bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start() returns a page-aligned
value.  With that change in place, the test passes:

$ sudo ./test_progs -t arena_htab
