Subject: [PATCH 0/6] mm: audit find_vma() callers
Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:26:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397960791-16320-1-git-send-email-davidlohr@hp.com> (raw)
Ensure find_vma() callers do so with the mmap_sem held.
I'm sure there are a few more places left to fix, but
this is a pretty good start. Following the call chain,
some users become all tangled up, but I believe these
fixes are correct. Furthermore, the bulk of the callers
of find_vma are in a lot of functions where it is well
known that the mmap_sem is taken way before, such as
get_unmapped_area() family.
Please note that none of the patches are tested.
Thanks!
