There are code paths that rely on zero_pfn to be fully initialized
before core_initcall. For example, wq_sysfs_init() is a core_initcall
function that eventually results in a call to kernel_execve, which
causes a page fault with a subsequent mmput. If zero_pfn is not
initialized by then it may not get cleaned up properly and result in an
error:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:(ptrval) type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1
Here is an analysis of the race as seen on a MIPS device. On this
particular MT7621 device (Ubiquiti ER-X), zero_pfn is PFN 0 until
initialized, at which point it becomes PFN 5120:
1. wq_sysfs_init calls into kobject_uevent_env at core_initcall:
kobject_uevent_env+0x7e4/0x7ec
kset_register+0x68/0x88
bus_register+0xdc/0x34c
subsys_virtual_register+0x34/0x78
wq_sysfs_init+0x1c/0x4c
do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1a8
kernel_init_freeable+0x230/0x2c8
kernel_init+0x10/0x100
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c
2. kobject_uevent_env() calls call_usermodehelper_exec() which executes
kernel_execve asynchronously.
3. Memory allocations in kernel_execve cause a page fault, bumping the
MM reference counter:
add_mm_counter_fast+0xb4/0xc0
handle_mm_fault+0x6e4/0xea0
__get_user_pages.part.78+0x190/0x37c
__get_user_pages_remote+0x128/0x360
get_arg_page+0x34/0xa0
copy_string_kernel+0x194/0x2a4
kernel_execve+0x11c/0x298
call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194
4. In case zero_pfn has not been initialized yet, zap_pte_range does
not decrement the MM_ANONPAGES RSS counter and the BUG message is
triggered shortly afterwards when __mmdrop checks the ref counters:
__mmdrop+0x98/0x1d0
free_bprm+0x44/0x118
kernel_execve+0x160/0x1d8
call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c
To avoid races such as described above, initialize init_zero_pfn at
early_initcall level. Depending on the architecture, ZERO_PAGE is
either constant or gets initialized even earlier, at paging_init, so
there is no issue with initializing zero_pfn earlier.
