In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
zsmalloc: fix races between asynchronous zspage free and page migration
The asynchronous zspage free worker tries to lock a zspage's entire page
list without defending against page migration. Since pages which haven't
yet been locked can concurrently migrate off the zspage page list while
lock_zspage() churns away, lock_zspage() can suffer from a few different
lethal races.
It can lock a page which no longer belongs to the zspage and unsafely
dereference page_private(), it can unsafely dereference a torn pointer to
the next page (since there's a data race), and it can observe a spurious
NULL pointer to the next page and thus not lock all of the zspage's pages
(since a single page migration will reconstruct the entire page list, and
create_page_chain() unconditionally zeroes out each list pointer in the
process).
Fix the races by using migrate_read_lock() in lock_zspage() to synchronize
with page migration.
