From 077f6db9731673753ca41a5c3acbb5ead142658a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Todd Poynor Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 16:08:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] staging: ashmem: Avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault. Page faults grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex. The reversed order of locking between the two can deadlock. The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls. Move the code that accesses userspace pages outside the ashmem_mutex.
