From 05fa199d45c54a9bda7aa3ae6537253d6f097aa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:58:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: pass correct mm when growing stack Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment. Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec. And in any case, that vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning, it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).
