The patch titled Subject: mm/hmm: fix race between hmm_mirror_unregister() and mmu_notifier callback has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hmm-fix-race-between-hmm_mirror_unregister-and-mmu_notifier-callback.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Ralph Campbell rcampbell@nvidia.com Subject: mm/hmm: fix race between hmm_mirror_unregister() and mmu_notifier callback
In hmm_mirror_unregister(), mm->hmm is set to NULL and then mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is called. That creates a small window where mmu_notifier can call mmu_notifier_ops with mm->hmm equal to NULL. Fix this by first unregistering mmu notifier callbacks and then setting mm->hmm to NULL.
Similarly in hmm_register(), set mm->hmm before registering mmu_notifier callbacks so callback functions always see mm->hmm set.
