------------------------------------------------------ From: Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com Subject: mm: unconditionally close VMAs on error Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2024 18:11:45 +0000
Incorrect invocation of VMA callbacks when the VMA is no longer in a consistent state is bug prone and risky to perform.
With regards to the important vm_ops->close() callback We have gone to great lengths to try to track whether or not we ought to close VMAs.
Rather than doing so and risking making a mistake somewhere, instead unconditionally close and reset vma->vm_ops to an empty dummy operations set with a NULL .close operator.
We introduce a new function to do so - vma_close() - and simplify existing vms logic which tracked whether we needed to close or not.
This simplifies the logic, avoids incorrect double-calling of the .close() callback and allows us to update error paths to simply call vma_close() unconditionally - making VMA closure idempotent.
