Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables<br />
<br />
Since 5e8eb9aeeda3 ("arm64: mm: always call PTE/PMD ctor in<br />
__create_pgd_mapping()") page-table allocation on ARM64 always calls<br />
pagetable_{pte,pmd,pud,p4d}_ctor(). This sets the page_type to<br />
PGTY_table, increments NR_PAGETABLE and possible allocates a PTL. However<br />
the matching pagetable_dtor() calls were never added.<br />
<br />
With DEBUG_VM enabled on kernel versions prior to v6.17 without<br />
2dfcd1608f3a9 ("mm/page_alloc: let page freeing clear any set page type")<br />
this leads to the following warning when freeing these pages due to<br />
page->page_type sharing page->_mapcount:<br />
<br />
BUG: Bad page state in process ... pfn:284fbb<br />
page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x284fbb<br />
flags: 0x17fffc000000000(node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)<br />
page_type: f2(table)<br />
page dumped because: nonzero mapcount<br />

<br />
It can also lead to leaking the ptl allocation if ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is<br />
defined and incorrect NR_PAGETABLE stats. Fix this by calling<br />
pagetable_dtor() in free_hotplug_pgtable_page() prior to freeing the page<br />
to undo the effects of calling pagetable_*_ctor().
