Subject[PATCH 5.14 081/169] userfaultfd: fix a race between writeprotect and exit_mmap()
Date
From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

commit cb185d5f1ebf900f4ae3bf84cee212e6dd035aca upstream.

A race is possible when a process exits, its VMAs are removed by
exit_mmap() and at the same time userfaultfd_writeprotect() is called.

The race was detected by KASAN on a development kernel, but it appears
to be possible on vanilla kernels as well.

Use mmget_not_zero() to prevent the race as done in other userfaultfd
operations.
