[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/migrate: find_mm_struct: fix race between security checks and suid exec
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-migrate-find_mm_struct-fix-race-between-security-checks-and-suid-exec.patch

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

Subject: mm/migrate: find_mm_struct: fix race between security checks and suid exec
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 16:42:11 +0200

The target task can execute a setuid binary between ptrace_may_access()
and get_task_mm().  Protect this critical section with exec_update_lock.

I don't think cpuset_mems_allowed(task) should be called under
exec_update_lock, but this patch just tries to add the minimal fix.

Perhaps we can later add a common helper which can be used by
find_mm_struct() and kernel_migrate_pages().
