From: Hugh Dickins Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2020 06:26:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: khugepaged: khugepaged_test_exit() check mmget_still_valid() X-Git-Tag: v5.7.18~125 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08251c979559b94f2cfabf5df4b309882f7af40d;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git khugepaged: khugepaged_test_exit() check mmget_still_valid() [ Upstream commit bbe98f9cadff58cdd6a4acaeba0efa8565dabe65 ] Move collapse_huge_page()'s mmget_still_valid() check into khugepaged_test_exit() itself. collapse_huge_page() is used for anon THP only, and earned its mmget_still_valid() check because it inserts a huge pmd entry in place of the page table's pmd entry; whereas collapse_file()'s retract_page_tables() or collapse_pte_mapped_thp() merely clears the page table's pmd entry. But core dumping without mmap lock must have been as open to mistaking a racily cleared pmd entry for a page table at physical page 0, as exit_mmap() was. And we certainly have no interest in mapping as a THP once dumping core.
