From 71c369621a164840012200b22da9e84a254bb223 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Doug Berger Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2019 18:50:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8874/1: mm: only adjust sections of valid mm structures [ Upstream commit c51bc12d06b3a5494fbfcbd788a8e307932a06e9 ] A timing hazard exists when an early fork/exec thread begins exiting and sets its mm pointer to NULL while a separate core tries to update the section information. This commit ensures that the mm pointer is not NULL before setting its section parameters. The arguments provided by commit 11ce4b33aedc ("ARM: 8672/1: mm: remove tasklist locking from update_sections_early()") are equally valid for not requiring grabbing the task_lock around this check.
