staging: ashmem: Fix SIGBUS crash when traversing mmaped ashmem pages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Amit Pundir and Youling in parallel reported crashes with recent
mainline kernels running Android:

  F DEBUG   : *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

  ...

This was bisected back to commit bfd40ea ("mm: fix
vma_is_anonymous() false-positives").

create_mspace_with_base() in the trace above, utilizes ashmem, and with
ashmem, for shared mappings we use shmem_zero_setup(), which sets the
vma->vm_ops to &shmem_vm_ops.  But for private ashmem mappings nothing
sets the vma->vm_ops.

Looking at the problematic patch, it seems to add a requirement that one
call vma_set_anonymous() on a vma, otherwise the dummy_vm_ops will be
used.  Using the dummy_vm_ops seem to triggger SIGBUS when traversing
unmapped pages.

Thus, this patch adds a call to vma_set_anonymous() for ashmem private
mappings and seems to avoid the reported problem.
