The patch titled Subject: mm/vma: fix null pointer dereference in vms_abort_munmap_vmas() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-change-failure-of-map_fixed-to-restoring-the-gap-on-failure-fix.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-change-failure-of-map_fixed-to-restoring-the-gap-on-failure-fix.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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 via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vma: fix null pointer dereference in vms_abort_munmap_vmas() Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:15:49 -0400 Don't pass a NULL vma to the vma_iter_store(), instead set up the maple state for the store and do it manually. vma_iter_clear() cannot be used as it needs preallocations.
