[PATCH 0/3] mm: Fix misuse of parent anon_vma in dup_mmap path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patchset fix the misuse of parenet anon_vma, which mainly caused by
child vma's vm_next and vm_prev are left same as its parent after
duplicate vma. Finally, code reached parent vma's neighbor by referring
pointer of child vma and executed wrong logic.

The first two patches fix relevant issues, and the third patch sets vm_next
and vm_prev to NULL when duplicate vma to prevent potential misuse in future. 

Li Xinhai (3):
  mm: don't prepare anon_vma if vma has VM_WIPEONFORK
  Revert "mm/rmap.c: reuse mergeable anon_vma as parent when fork"
  mm: set vm_next and vm_prev to NULL in vm_area_dup()
