From 5040573e49cc8f0e016a83544a0e552f2f44c897 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:07:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] arc: call find_vma with the mmap_sem held Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree.
