Hi Hans, Could you please take a look at this patch? I remember you had to revert a VB2 patch from Al Viro, as it caused some regressions. Not sure if this one is similar to the one that was reverted. Thanks, Mauro Forwarded message: Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:04:06 -0700 From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, pawel@xxxxxxxxxx, m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx, m.chehab@xxxxxxxxxxx, kyungmin.park@xxxxxxxxxxx, davidlohr@xxxxxx Subject: + media-videobuf2-dma-sg-call-find_vma-with-the-mmap_sem-held.patch added to -mm tree Subject: + media-videobuf2-dma-sg-call-find_vma-with-the-mmap_sem-held.patch added to -mm tree To: davidlohr@xxxxxx,kyungmin.park@xxxxxxxxxxx,m.chehab@xxxxxxxxxxx,m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx,pawel@xxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:04:06 -0700 The patch titled Subject: drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-sg.c: call find_vma with the mmap_sem held has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is media-videobuf2-dma-sg-call-find_vma-with-the-mmap_sem-held.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/media-videobuf2-dma-sg-call-find_vma-with-the-mmap_sem-held.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/media-videobuf2-dma-sg-call-find_vma-with-the-mmap_sem-held.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@xxxxxx> Subject: drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-sg.c: call find_vma with the mmap_sem held Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock in order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree. Also do some very minor cleanup changes.
