Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: defio: fix the pagelist corruption Easily hit the below list corruption: == list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffffffffc0ceb090), but was ffffec604507edc8. (prev=ffffec604507edc8). WARNING: CPU: 65 PID: 3959 at lib/list_debug.c:26 __list_add_valid+0x53/0x80 CPU: 65 PID: 3959 Comm: fbdev Tainted: G U RIP: 0010:__list_add_valid+0x53/0x80 Call Trace: <TASK> fb_deferred_io_mkwrite+0xea/0x150 do_page_mkwrite+0x57/0xc0 do_wp_page+0x278/0x2f0 __handle_mm_fault+0xdc2/0x1590 handle_mm_fault+0xdd/0x2c0 do_user_addr_fault+0x1d3/0x650 exc_page_fault+0x77/0x180 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x8/0x30 asm_exc_page_fault+0x1e/0x30 RIP: 0033:0x7fd98fc8fad1 == Figure out the race happens when one process is adding &page->lru into the pagelist tail in fb_deferred_io_mkwrite(), another process is re-initializing the same &page->lru in fb_deferred_io_fault(), which is not protected by the lock. This fix is to init all the page lists one time during initialization, it not only fixes the list corruption, but also avoids INIT_LIST_HEAD() redundantly. V2: change "int i" to "unsigned int i" (Geert Uytterhoeven)
