Subject: [25/25] nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 11:09:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100525181214.531527016@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100525181259.GA18630@kroah.com>

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

commit 731572d39fcd3498702eda4600db4c43d51e0b26 upstream.

Junjiro R.  Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit.  In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.

We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).

To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers

Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm
