Subject: fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_files
From: Artem Fetishev <artem_fetishev@xxxxxxxx>
commit 70335abb2689c8cd5df91bf2d95a65649addf50b upstream.
The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0
and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized.
By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have
already be gone. In this case the path is not initialized but the
return value is still 0. This results in 'general protection fault'
inside d_path().
Steps to reproduce:
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y
fd = open(...);
while (1) {
mmap(fd, ...);
munmap(fd, ...);
}
ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files
