oom reaping (__oom_reap_task_mm) relies on a 2 way synchronization with
exit_mmap. First it relies on the mmap_lock to exclude from unlock
path[1], page tables tear down (free_pgtables) and vma destruction.
This alone is not sufficient because mm->mmap is never reset.
For historical reasons[2] the lock is taken there is also MMF_OOM_SKIP
set for oom victims before.
The oom reaper only ever looks at oom victims so the whole scheme works
properly but process_mrelease can opearate on any task (with fatal
signals pending) which doesn't really imply oom victims. That means
that the MMF_OOM_SKIP part of the synchronization doesn't work and it
can see a task after the whole address space has been demolished and
traverse an already released mm->mmap list. This leads to use after
free as properly caught up by KASAN report.
Fix the issue by reseting mm->mmap so that MMF_OOM_SKIP synchronization
is not needed anymore. The MMF_OOM_SKIP is not removed from exit_mmap
yet but it acts mostly as an optimization now.

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 Restructured Text 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.
