The quilt patch titled Subject: maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was maple_tree-fix-mas_empty_area_rev-null-pointer-dereference.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: "Liam R. Howlett" Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Subject: maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 16:33:49 -0400

Currently the code calls mas_start() followed by mas_data_end() if the maple state is MA_START, but mas_start() may return with the maple state node == NULL. This will lead to a null pointer dereference when checking information in the NULL node, which is done in mas_data_end().

Avoid setting the offset if there is no node by waiting until after the maple state is checked for an empty or single entry state.

A user could trigger the events to cause a kernel oops by unmapping all vmas to produce an empty maple tree, then mapping a vma that would cause the scenario described above.
