patch "binder: Don't use mmput() from shrinker function." added to char-misc-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    binder: Don't use mmput() from shrinker function.

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: binder: Don't use mmput() from shrinker function.

syzbot is reporting that mmput() from shrinker function has a risk of
deadlock [1], for delayed_uprobe_add() from update_ref_ctr() calls
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) with delayed_uprobe_lock held, and
uprobe_clear_state() from __mmput() also holds delayed_uprobe_lock.

Commit a1b2289cef92ef0e ("android: binder: drop lru lock in isolate
callback") replaced mmput() with mmput_async() in order to avoid sleeping
with spinlock held. But this patch replaces mmput() with mmput_async() in
order not to start __mmput() from shrinker context.
