3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4eb919825e6c3c7fb3630d5621f6d11e98a18b3a upstream. remap_file_pages calls mmap_region, which may merge the VMA with other existing VMAs, and free "vma". This can lead to a use-after-free bug. Avoid the bug by remembering vm_flags before calling mmap_region, and not trying to dereference vma later.
