[PATCH -mm 2/3] uprobes: introduce the global struct vm_special_mapping xol_mapping

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Sep 11 2024 - 09:14:41 EST


Currently each xol_area has its own instance of vm_special_mapping, this
is suboptimal and ugly. Kill xol_area->xol_mapping and add a single global
instance of vm_special_mapping, the ->fault() method can use area->pages
rather than xol_mapping->pages.

As a side effect this fixes the problem introduced by the recent commit
223febc6e557 ("mm: add optional close() to struct vm_special_mapping"), if
special_mapping_close() is called from the __mmput() paths, it will use
vma->vm_private_data = &area->xol_mapping freed by uprobe_clear_state().
