This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
binder: validate alloc->mm in ->mmap() handler
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: binder: validate alloc->mm in ->mmap() handler
Since commit 1da52815d5f1 ("binder: fix alloc->vma_vm_mm null-ptr
dereference") binder caches a pointer to the current->mm during open().
This fixes a null-ptr dereference reported by syzkaller. Unfortunately,
it also opens the door for a process to update its mm after the open(),
(e.g. via execve) making the cached alloc->mm pointer invalid.
Things get worse when the process continues to mmap() a vma. From this
point forward, binder will attempt to find this vma using an obsolete
alloc->mm reference. Such as in binder_update_page_range(), where the
wrong vma is obtained via vma_lookup(), yet binder proceeds to happily
insert new pages into it.
To avoid this issue fail the ->mmap() callback if we detect a mismatch
between the vma->vm_mm and the original alloc->mm pointer. This prevents
alloc->vm_addr from getting set, so that any subsequent vma_lookup()
calls fail as expected.
Fixes: 1da52815d5f1 ("binder: fix alloc->vma_vm_mm null-ptr dereference")
