[PATCH 6.5 023/112] mm: fix vm_brk_flags() to not bail out while holding lock

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

 



6.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e0f81ab1e4f42ffece6440dc78f583eb352b9a71 upstream.

Calling vm_brk_flags() with flags set other than VM_EXEC will exit the
function without releasing the mmap_write_lock.

Just do the sanity check before the lock is acquired.  This doesn't fix an
actual issue since no caller sets a flag other than VM_EXEC.
