Hmm, I haven't received the original patch.

It is also preferable if you could add Fixes: sha1 which has caused the issue so that people know to which kernel versions this should be backported. > On 2017/8/16 10:13, zhong jiang wrote: > > I hit an use after free issue by executing trinity. and repoduce it > > with KASAN enabled.

This is really hard to read. I assume you meant to say that !shared memory policy is not protected against parallel removal by other thread which is normally protected by the mmap_sem. do_get_mempolicy, however, drops the lock midway while we can still access it later. Early premature up_read is a historical artifact from times when put_user was called in this path see https://lwn.net/Articles/124754/ but that is gone since 8bccd85ffbaf ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_* layering in the memory policy layer."). I didn't check since when we have the current mempolicy ref count model though but it is really old... > > The patch fix the issue by removing the premature release. it will safe > > access the mempolicy.
