The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap.c: don't clobber partially overlapping VMA with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-dont-clobber-partially-overlapping-vma-with-map_fixed_noreplace.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-dont-clobber-partially-overlapping-vma-with-map_fixed_noreplace.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-dont-clobber-partially-overlapping-vma-with-map_fixed_noreplace.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: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap.c: don't clobber partially overlapping VMA with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE Daniel Micay reports that attempting to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in an application causes that application to randomly crash. The existing check for handling MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE looks up the first VMA that either overlaps or follows the requested region, and then bails out if that VMA overlaps *the start* of the requested region. It does not bail out if the VMA only overlaps another part of the requested region. Fix it by checking that the found VMA only starts at or after the end of the requested region, in which case there is no overlap.
