commit 19e6317d24c25ee737c65d1ffb7483bdda4bb54a upstream. The problem arises because our read() function grabs a lock of the circular buffer, finds something of interest, then invokes copy_to_user() straight from the buffer, which in turn takes mm->mmap_sem. In the same time, the callback mon_bin_vma_fault() is invoked under mm->mmap_sem. It attempts to take the fetch lock and deadlocks. This patch does away with protecting of our page list with any semaphores, and instead relies on the kernel not close the device while mmap is active in a process. In addition, we prohibit re-sizing of a buffer while mmap is active. This way, when (now unlocked) fault is processed, it works with the page that is intended to be mapped-in, and not some other random page. Note that this may have an ABI impact, but hopefully no legitimate program is this wrong.

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.
