The patch titled Subject: userfaultfd_release: always remove uffd flags and clear vm_userfaultfd_ctx has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is userfaultfd_release-always-remove-uffd-flags-and-clear-vm_userfaultfd_ctx.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/userfaultfd_release-always-remove-uffd-flags-and-clear-vm_userfaultfd_ctx.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/userfaultfd_release-always-remove-uffd-flags-and-clear-vm_userfaultfd_ctx.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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: userfaultfd_release: always remove uffd flags and clear vm_userfaultfd_ctx userfaultfd_release() should clear vm_flags/vm_userfaultfd_ctx even if mm->core_state != NULL. Otherwise a page fault can see userfaultfd_missing() == T and use an already freed userfaultfd_ctx.
