+Subject: staging: android: ashmem: Fix possible deadlock in ashmem_ioctl
+
+From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>
+
+commit 740a5759bf222332fbb5eda42f89aa25ba38f9b2 upstream.
+
+ashmem_mutex may create a chain of dependencies like:
+
+CPU0 CPU1
+ mmap syscall ioctl syscall
+ -> mmap_sem (acquired) -> ashmem_ioctl
+ -> ashmem_mmap -> ashmem_mutex (acquired)
+ -> ashmem_mutex (try to acquire) -> copy_from_user
+ -> mmap_sem (try to acquire)
+
+There is a lock odering problem between mmap_sem and ashmem_mutex causing
+a lockdep splat[1] during a syzcaller test. This patch fixes the problem
+by move copy_from_user out of ashmem_mutex.
