Commit ea7e2d5e49 ("mm: call the security_mmap_file() LSM hook in
remap_file_pages()") fixed a security issue, it added an LSM check when
trying to remap file pages, so that LSMs have the opportunity to evaluate
such action like for other memory operations such as mmap() and
mprotect().
However, that commit called security_mmap_file() inside the mmap_lock
lock, while the other calls do it before taking the lock, after commit
8b3ec6814c ("take security_mmap_file() outside of ->mmap_sem").
This caused lock inversion issue with IMA which was taking the mmap_lock
and i_mutex lock in the opposite way when the remap_file_pages() system
call was called.
Solve the issue by splitting the critical region in remap_file_pages() in
two regions: the first takes a read lock of mmap_lock, retrieves the VMA
and the file descriptor associated, and calculates the 'prot' and 'flags'
variables; the second takes a write lock on mmap_lock, checks that the VMA
flags and the VMA file descriptor are the same as the ones obtained in the
first critical region (otherwise the system call fails), and calls
do_mmap().
In between, after releasing the read lock and before taking the write
lock, call security_mmap_file(), and solve the lock inversion issue.
