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
