From cb185d5f1ebf900f4ae3bf84cee212e6dd035aca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadav Amit Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2021 15:15:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: fix a race between writeprotect and exit_mmap() 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.
