From 1935549ba38cf30ebe8748ccb88fb99d009241d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2012 16:00:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Hold a file reference in madvise_remove commit 9ab4233dd08036fe34a89c7dc6f47a8bf2eb29eb upstream. Otherwise the code races with munmap (causing a use-after-free of the vma) or with close (causing a use-after-free of the struct file).
