From 3dd4432549415f3c65dd52d5c687629efbf4ece1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Liam R. Howlett" Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:36:07 -0800 Subject: mm: enable maple tree RCU mode by default Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking. The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot (lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock. This is safe as the writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot. It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down without guard VMAs. syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA to grow and consume the empty space. Overwriting the entire NULL entry causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not match the maple state they are using. Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and will return the expected result.
