The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: prevent pagefault handler from racing with mmu_notifier registration has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-prevent-pagefault-handler-from-racing-with-mmu_notifier-registration.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: prevent pagefault handler from racing with mmu_notifier registration Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:36:20 -0800 Page fault handlers might need to fire MMU notifications while a new notifier is being registered. Modify mm_take_all_locks to write-lock all VMAs and prevent this race with page fault handlers that would hold VMA locks. VMAs are locked before i_mmap_rwsem and anon_vma to keep the same locking order as in page fault handlers.
