The cause of this is the mask is set\ntoo wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which\ncrashes the machine.\n\nJust disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool\ncode itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes\nthe define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel\npointers for page_pool-tagged pages.\n\nThe fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field\nalways being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the\nlowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the\nPP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives.\n\nBecause we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time\nconstant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling the\ndma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves\nus in the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but\nonly on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the\nbest we can do until the transition to page types in complete for\npage_pool pages.\n\nv2:\n- Make sure there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET\n  bit calculation doesn't wrap"}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["include/linux/mm.h","net/core/page_pool.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4f51fb0d257ff4d406ec27966902de075e3b118e","lessThan":"15b8a5b4cdc16e9a8bb2a548e12a0fd92997605a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ee62ce7a1d909ccba0399680a03c2dee83bcae95","lessThan":"f62934cea32c8f7b11b747975d69bf5afe4264cf","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ee62ce7a1d909ccba0399680a03c2dee83bcae95","lessThan":"95920c2ed02bde551ab654e9749c2ca7bc3100e0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c30ae60f41f9edd6e1b5cad41cf28ce04dae39e4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["include/linux/mm.h","net/core/page_pool.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.16","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.16","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.54","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.17.4","lessThanOrEqual":"6.17.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12.34","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.54"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.17.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.18"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.15.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15b8a5b4cdc16e9a8bb2a548e12a0fd92997605a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f62934cea32c8f7b11b747975d69bf5afe4264cf"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95920c2ed02bde551ab654e9749c2ca7bc3100e0"}],"title":"page_pool: Fix PP_MAGIC_MASK to avoid crashing on some 32-bit arches","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
