From 31f2b0ebc01fd332cb0997f7ce9f9cde29af9e20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:18:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rmap: anon_vma_prepare() can leak anon_vma_chain If find_mergeable_anon_vma() succeeds but another thread installs ->anon_vma before we take ptl, then allocated == NULL but avc should be freed. Change the code to check avc != NULL to detect this case. Also, a couple of whitespace changes to make the critical section more visible.
