VMA with VM_GROWSDOWN or VM_GROWSUP flag set can change their size under
mmap_read_lock(). It can lead to race with __do_munmap():
Thread A Thread B
__do_munmap()
detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped()
mmap_write_downgrade()
expand_downwards()
vma->vm_start = address;
// The VMA now overlaps with
// VMAs detached by the Thread A
// page fault populates expanded part
// of the VMA
unmap_region()
// Zaps pagetables partly
// populated by Thread B
Similar race exists for expand_upwards().
The fix is to avoid downgrading mmap_lock in __do_munmap() if detached
VMAs are next to VM_GROWSDOWN or VM_GROWSUP VMA.
