From: Tetsuo Handa penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2019 20:03:55 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] staging: android: ashmem: Avoid range_alloc() allocation with ashmem_mutex held.
ashmem_pin() is calling range_shrink() without checking whether range_alloc() succeeded. Also, doing memory allocation with ashmem_mutex held should be avoided because ashmem_shrink_scan() tries to hold it.
Therefore, move memory allocation for range_alloc() to ashmem_pin_unpin() and make range_alloc() not to fail.
This patch is mostly meant for backporting purpose for fuzz testing on stable/distributor kernels, for there is a plan to remove this code in near future.
