patch "binder: fix race between munmap() and direct reclaim" 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: fix race between munmap() and direct reclaim

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: fix race between munmap() and direct reclaim

An munmap() on a binder device causes binder_vma_close() to be called
which clears the alloc->vma pointer.

If direct reclaim causes binder_alloc_free_page() to be called, there
is a race where alloc->vma is read into a local vma pointer and then
used later after the mm->mmap_sem is acquired. This can result in
calling zap_page_range() with an invalid vma which manifests as a
use-after-free in zap_page_range().

The fix is to check alloc->vma after acquiring the mmap_sem (which we
were acquiring anyway) and skip zap_page_range() if it has changed
to NULL.
