[PATCH 5.15 38/42] Revert "android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Carlos Llamas <cmllamas@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c0fd2101781ef761b636769b2f445351f71c3626 upstream.

This reverts commit a43cfc87caaf46710c8027a8c23b8a55f1078f19.

This patch fixed an issue reported by syzkaller in [1]. However, this
turned out to be only a band-aid in binder. The root cause, as bisected
by syzkaller, was fixed by commit 5789151e48ac ("mm/mmap: undo ->mmap()
when mas_preallocate() fails"). We no longer need the patch for binder.

Reverting such patch allows us to have a lockless access to alloc->vma
in specific cases where the mmap_lock is not required. This approach
avoids the contention that caused a performance regression.
