[PATCH 3/4] mm/rmap: fix new bug: premature return from page_mlock_one()

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

 



In the unlikely race case that page_mlock_one() finds VM_LOCKED has been
cleared by the time it got page table lock, page_vma_mapped_walk_done()
must be called before returning, either explicitly, or by a final call
to page_vma_mapped_walk() - otherwise the page table remains locked.

Fixes: cd62734ca60d ("mm/rmap: split try_to_munlock from try_to_unmap")
