+Subject: mm: fix exec activate_mm vs TLB shootdown and lazy tlb switching race
+
+From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
+
+commit d53c3dfb23c45f7d4f910c3a3ca84bf0a99c6143 upstream.
+
+Reading and modifying current->mm and current->active_mm and switching
+mm should be done with irqs off, to prevent races seeing an intermediate
+state.
+
+This is similar to commit 38cf307c1f20 ("mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB
+invalidate"). At exec-time when the new mm is activated, the old one
+should usually be single-threaded and no longer used, unless something
+else is holding an mm_users reference (which may be possible).
+
+Absent other mm_users, there is also a race with preemption and lazy tlb
+switching. Consider the kernel_execve case where the current thread is
+using a lazy tlb active mm:
+
+  call_usermodehelper()
+    kernel_execve()
+      old_mm = current->mm;
+      active_mm = current->active_mm;
+      *** preempt *** -------------------->  schedule()
+                                               prev->active_mm = NULL;
+                                               mmdrop(prev active_mm);
+                                             ...
+                      <--------------------  schedule()
+      current->mm = mm;
+      current->active_mm = mm;
+      if (!old_mm)
+          mmdrop(active_mm);
+
+If we switch back to the kernel thread from a different mm, there is a
+double free of the old active_mm, and a missing free of the new one.
+
+Closing this race only requires interrupts to be disabled while ->mm
+and ->active_mm are being switched, but the TLB problem requires also
+holding interrupts off over activate_mm. Unfortunately not all archs
+can do that yet, e.g., arm defers the switch if irqs are disabled and
+expects finish_arch_post_lock_switch() to be called to complete the
+flush; um takes a blocking lock in activate_mm().
+
+So as a first step, disable interrupts across the mm/active_mm updates
+to close the lazy tlb preempt race, and provide an arch option to
+extend that to activate_mm which allows architectures doing IPI based
+TLB shootdowns to close the second race.
+
+This is a bit ugly, but in the interest of fixing the bug and backporting
+before all architectures are converted this is a compromise.
