[PATCH 5.10 47/95] userfaultfd: fix a race between writeprotect and exit_mmap()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 25 2021 - 15:42:35 EST
From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit cb185d5f1ebf900f4ae3bf84cee212e6dd035aca upstream.
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.
