The retry in lock_vma_under_rcu() drops the rcu read lock before reacquiring the lock and trying again. This may cause a use-after-free if the maple node the maple state was using was freed. The maple state is protected by the rcu read lock. When the lock is dropped, the state cannot be reused as it tracks pointers to objects that may be freed during the time where the lock was not held. Any time the rcu read lock is dropped, the maple state must be invalidated. Resetting the address and state to MA_START is the safest course of action, which will result in the next operation starting from the top of the tree. Prior to commit0b16f8bed1("mm: change vma_start_read() to drop RCU lock on failure"), vma_start_read() would drop rcu read lock and return NULL, so the retry would not have happened. However, now that vma_start_read() drops rcu read lock on failure followed by a retry, we may end up using a freed maple tree node cached in the maple state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
