commit7b2d0dbac4("x86/mm/pkeys: Pass VMA down in to fault signal generation code") passes down a vma pointer to the error path, but that is done once the mmap_sem is released when calling mm_fault_error() from __do_page_fault(). This is dangerous as the vma structure is no more safe to be used once the mmap_sem has been released. As only the protection key value is required in the error processing, we could just pass down this value. Fix it by passing a pointer to a protection key value down to the fault signal generation code. The use of a pointer allows to keep the check generating a warning message in fill_sig_info_pkey() when the vma was not known. If the pointer is valid, the protection value can be accessed by deferencing the pointer. [ tglx: Made *pkey u32 as that's the type which is passed in siginfo ] Fixes:7b2d0dbac4("x86/mm/pkeys: Pass VMA down in to fault signal generation code") Signed-off-by: Laurent Dufour <ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1504513935-12742-1-git-send-email-ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
