From aecd6f44266c13b8709245b21ded2d19291ab070 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:08:05 -0700 Subject: mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set() Things can go wrong if fault_around_bytes will be changed under do_fault_around(): between fault_around_mask() and fault_around_pages(). Let's read fault_around_bytes only once during do_fault_around() and calculate mask based on the reading. Note: fault_around_bytes can only be updated via debug interface. Also I've tried but was not able to trigger a bad behaviour without the patch. So I would not consider this patch as urgent. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
