      SELinux: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in selinux_inode_permission() · 3dc91d43

      While running stress tests on adding and deleting ftrace instances I hit
      this bug:

      Investigating, I found that the inode->i_security was NULL, and the
      dereference of it caused the oops.
      
      in selinux_inode_permission():
      
      	isec = inode->i_security;
      
      	rc = avc_has_perm_noaudit(sid, isec->sid, isec->sclass, perms, 0, &avd);
      
      Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
      files.  I was not able to recreate this via normal files.  But I'm not
      sure they are safe.  It may just be that the race window is much harder
      to hit.
      
      What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
      being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
      As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
      the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
      structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().
      
      The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
      not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct.  Now if the freeing of
      the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
      the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
      there will be no issue here.  (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
      field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
      permission check).
      
      Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand.  A real fix is
      to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
      from the RCU callback.  But that is a major job to do, and requires a
      lot of work.  For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
      works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

      thp: fix copy_page_rep GPF by testing is_huge_zero_pmd once only · eecc1e42

      We see General Protection Fault on RSI in copy_page_rep: that RSI is
      what you get from a NULL struct page pointer.

      do_huge_pmd_wp_page() tests is_huge_zero_pmd(orig_pmd) four times: but
      since shrink_huge_zero_page() can free the huge_zero_page, and we have
      no hold of our own on it here (except where the fourth test holds
      page_table_lock and has checked pmd_same), it's possible for it to
      answer yes the first time, but no to the second or third test.  Change
      all those last three to tests for NULL page.
      
      (Note: this is not the same issue as trinity's DEBUG_PAGEALLOC BUG
      in copy_page_rep with RSI: ffff88009c422000, reported by Sasha Levin
      in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/29/103.  I believe that one is due
      to the source page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy
      is in progress; and not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since
      the pmd_same check will prevent a miscopy from being made visible.)
