    Subject[ 093/110] mm/huge_memory.c: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
    Date
    3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

    From: Libin <huawei.libin@huawei.com>

    commit a8f531ebc33052642b4bd7b812eedf397108ce64 upstream.

    In collapse_huge_page() there is a race window between releasing the
    mmap_sem read lock and taking the mmap_sem write lock, so find_vma() may
    return NULL. So check the return value to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

    collapse_huge_page
    khugepaged_alloc_page
    up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
    down_write(&mm->mmap_sem)
    vma = find_vma(mm, address)
