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

mm, kmsan: fix infinite recursion due to RCU critical section

Alexander Potapenko writes in [1]: "For every memory access in the code instrumented by KMSAN we call kmsan_get_metadata() to obtain the metadata for the memory being accessed. For virtual memory the metadata pointers are stored in the corresponding `struct page`, therefore we need to call virt_to_page() to get them.

According to the comment in arch/x86/include/asm/page.h, virt_to_page(kaddr) returns a valid pointer iff virt_addr_valid(kaddr) is true, so KMSAN needs to call virt_addr_valid() as well.

To avoid recursion, kmsan_get_metadata() must not call instrumented code, therefore ./arch/x86/include/asm/kmsan.h forks parts of arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c to check whether a virtual address is valid or not.

But the introduction of rcu_read_lock() to pfn_valid() added instrumented RCU API calls to virt_to_page_or_null(), which is called by kmsan_get_metadata(), so there is an infinite recursion now. I do not think it is correct to stop that recursion by doing kmsan_enter_runtime()/kmsan_exit_runtime() in kmsan_get_metadata(): that would prevent instrumented functions called from within the runtime from tracking the shadow values, which might introduce false positives."

Fix the issue by switching pfn_valid() to the _sched() variant of rcu_read_lock/unlock(), which does not require calling into RCU. Given the critical section in pfn_valid() is ver…
