ret = follow_pfn(vma, vaddr, pfn);
if (ret) {
bool unlocked = false;
ret = fixup_user_fault(NULL, mm, vaddr,
FAULT_FLAG_REMOTE |
(write_fault ? FAULT_FLAG_WRITE : 0),
&unlocked);
if (unlocked)
return -EAGAIN;
if (ret)
return ret;
ret = follow_pfn(vma, vaddr, pfn); <--------------- [1]
}
So imo the 2nd follow_pfn() [1] could be racy if without the unlocked check.
