VMA with VM_GROWSDOWN or VM_GROWSUP flag set can change their size under mmap_read_lock(). It can lead to race with __do_munmap():
Thread A Thread B __do_munmap() detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped() mmap_write_downgrade() expand_downwards() vma->vm_start = address; // The VMA now overlaps with // VMAs detached by the Thread A // page fault populates expanded part // of the VMA unmap_region() // Zaps pagetables partly // populated by Thread B
Similar race exists for expand_upwards().
The fix is to avoid downgrading mmap_lock in __do_munmap() if detached VMAs are next to VM_GROWSDOWN or VM_GROWSUP VMA.
