The patch titled Subject: userfaultfd: fix a race between writeprotect and exit_mmap() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was userfaultfd-fix-a-race-between-writeprotect-and-exit_mmap.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Nadav Amit namit@vmware.com Subject: userfaultfd: fix a race between writeprotect and exit_mmap()
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.
