Revision cb185d5f1ebf900f4ae3bf84cee212e6dd035aca authored by Nadav Amit on 18 October 2021, 22:15:25 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 19 October 2021, 06:22:02 UTC
A race is possible when a process exits, its VMAs are removed by
exit_mmap() and at the same time userfaultfd_writeprotect() is called.
The race was detected by KASAN on a development kernel, but it appears
to be possible on vanilla kernels as well.
Use mmget_not_zero() to prevent the race as done in other userfaultfd
operations.
