From 33313a747e81af9f31d0d45de78c9397fa3655eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suren Baghdasaryan Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2023 12:12:11 -0700 Subject: mm: lock newly mapped VMA which can be modified after it becomes visible mmap_region adds a newly created VMA into VMA tree and might modify it afterwards before dropping the mmap_lock. This poses a problem for page faults handled under per-VMA locks because they don't take the mmap_lock and can stumble on this VMA while it's still being modified. Currently this does not pose a problem since post-addition modifications are done only for file-backed VMAs, which are not handled under per-VMA lock. However, once support for handling file-backed page faults with per-VMA locks is added, this will become a race. Fix this by write-locking the VMA before inserting it into the VMA tree. Other places where a new VMA is added into VMA tree do not modify it after the insertion, so do not need the same locking.
