Todd Kjos c2a035d782 binder: fix race between munmap() and direct reclaim
commit 5cec2d2e5839f9c0fec319c523a911e0a7fd299f upstream.

An munmap() on a binder device causes binder_vma_close() to be called
which clears the alloc->vma pointer.

If direct reclaim causes binder_alloc_free_page() to be called, there
is a race where alloc->vma is read into a local vma pointer and then
used later after the mm->mmap_sem is acquired. This can result in
calling zap_page_range() with an invalid vma which manifests as a
use-after-free in zap_page_range().

The fix is to check alloc->vma after acquiring the mmap_sem (which we
were acquiring anyway) and skip zap_page_range() if it has changed
to NULL.

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.
