[PATCH 4.13 096/160] ksm: fix unlocked iteration over vmas in cmp_and_merge_page()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 10 2017 - 16:23:32 EST
4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4b22927f0cbd58303aac689e378d20bf56267a39 upstream.
In this place mm is unlocked, so vmas or list may change. Down read
mmap_sem to protect them from modifications.
