Subject[ 66/68] mm: Hold a file reference in madvise_remove
Date
From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>

commit 9ab4233dd08036fe34a89c7dc6f47a8bf2eb29eb upstream.

Otherwise the code races with munmap (causing a use-after-free
of the vma) or with close (causing a use-after-free of the struct
file).

The bug was introduced by commit 90ed52ebe481 ("[PATCH] holepunch: fix
mmap_sem i_mutex deadlock")

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- Adjust context
- madvise_remove() calls vmtruncate_range(), not do_fallocate()]
[luto: Backported to 3.0: Adjust context]
