[PATCH 2/2] mm/hugetlb.c: Fix UAF of vma in hugetlb fault pathway

[Vishal Moola (Oracle)]

Syzbot reports a UAF in hugetlb_fault(). This happens because
vmf_anon_prepare() could drop the per-VMA lock and allow the current VMA
to be freed before hugetlb_vma_unlock_read() is called.

We can fix this by using a modified version of vmf_anon_prepare() that
doesn't release the VMA lock on failure, and then release it ourselves
after hugetlb_vma_unlock_read().

Reported-by: syzbot+2dab93857ee95f2eeb08@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/00000000000067c20b06219fbc26@xxxxxxxxxx/
Fixes: 9acad7ba3e25 ("hugetlb: use vmf_anon_prepare() instead of anon_vma_prepare()")
