[patch 94/95] mmap locking API: don't check locking if the mm isn't live yet

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

 



From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mmap locking API: don't check locking if the mm isn't live yet

In preparation for adding a mmap_assert_locked() check in
__get_user_pages(), teach the mmap_assert_*locked() helpers that it's fine
to operate on an mm without locking in the middle of execve() as long as
it hasn't been installed on a process yet.

Existing code paths that do this are (reverse callgraph):

  get_user_pages_remote
    get_arg_page
      copy_strings
      copy_string_kernel
      remove_arg_zero
    tomoyo_dump_page
      tomoyo_print_bprm
      tomoyo_scan_bprm
      tomoyo_environ
