Hi Leon,
Please let us know how it goes.

The fixes Vlastimil was referring to are not in the fault.c, they are
in the main mm and fork code. More specifically, check for these
patches to exist in the branch you are testing:

mm: lock newly mapped VMA with corrected ordering
fork: lock VMAs of the parent process when forking
mm: lock newly mapped VMA which can be modified after it becomes visible
mm: lock a vma before stack expansion

Thanks,
Suren.
