The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ocfs2-fix-use-after-free-in-ocfs2_fault-when-vm_fault_retry.patch

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

Subject: ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 01:38:16 -0700

filemap_fault() may drop the mmap_lock before returning VM_FAULT_RETRY,
as documented in mm/filemap.c:

  "If our return value has VM_FAULT_RETRY set, it's because the mmap_lock
  may be dropped before doing I/O or by lock_folio_maybe_drop_mmap()."

When this happens, a concurrent munmap() can call remove_vma() and free
the vm_area_struct via RCU. The saved 'vma' pointer in ocfs2_fault() then
becomes a dangling pointer, and the subsequent trace_ocfs2_fault() call
dereferences it -- a use-after-free.

Fix this by saving ip_blkno as a plain integer before calling
filemap_fault(), and removing vma from the trace event. Since
ip_blkno is copied by value before the lock can be dropped, it
remains valid regardless of what happens to the vma or inode
afterward.
