CVE-2022-48731

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/kmemleak: avoid scanning potential huge holes

When using devm_request_free_mem_region() and devm_memremap_pages() to add ZONE_DEVICE memory, if requested free mem region's end pfn were huge(e.g., 0x400000000), the node_end_pfn() will be also huge (see move_pfn_range_to_zone()). Thus it creates a huge hole between node_start_pfn() and node_end_pfn().

We found on some AMD APUs, amdkfd requested such a free mem region and created a huge hole. In such a case, following code snippet was just doing busy test_bit() looping on the huge hole.

for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn++) { struct page *page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn); if (!page) continue; ... }

So we got a soft lockup:

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 26s!

I did some tests with the patch.
