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.
