mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs
[ Upstream commit c10d38cc8d3e43f946b6c2bf4602c86791587f30 ]
Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in
get_swap_page_of_type:
Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This
seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is
valid and so "si" can be NULL.
Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to
ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order:
CPU0 CPU1
alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type]
Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before
CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type].
Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads
properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage.
Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model
(see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt).
This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held
(e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles
and the swap_info array.
