Message-ID: <20230928173005.BC7DAC433BC@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mmap: fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mmap-fix-vma_iterator-in-error-path-of-vma_merge.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@oracle.com>
Subject: mmap: fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 12:07:44 -0400

When merging of the previous VMA fails after the vma iterator has been
moved to the previous entry, the vma iterator must be advanced to ensure
the caller takes the correct action on the next vma iterator event.  Fix
this by adding a vma_next() call to the error path.

Users may experience higher CPU usage, most likely in very low memory
situations.
