Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mmap-fix-vma_iterator-in-error-path-of-vma_merge.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2023 14:46:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231006214644.CB984C433C9@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 it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@oracle.com>
Subject: mmap: fix vma_iterator in error path of vma_merge()
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:30:39 -0400

During the error path, the vma iterator may not be correctly positioned or
set to the correct range.  Undo the vma_prev() call by resetting to the
passed in address.  Re-walking to the same range will fix the range to the
area previously passed in.

Users would notice increased cycles as vma_merge() would be called an
extra time with vma == prev, and thus would fail to merge and return.
