[RFC PATCH for 5.4 0/7] Membarrier fixes and cleanups

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

Hi,

Those series of fixes and cleanups are initially motivated by the report
of race in membarrier, which can load p->mm->membarrier_state after mm
has been freed (use-after-free).

Thanks,

Mathieu

Mathieu Desnoyers (7):
  Fix: sched/membarrier: Private expedited registration check
  Cleanup: sched/membarrier: Remove redundant check
  Cleanup: sched/membarrier: Only sync_core before usermode for same mm
  Fix: sched/membarrier: p->mm->membarrier_state racy load (v4)
  selftests: sched/membarrier: Add multi-threaded test
  sched/membarrier: Skip IPIs when mm->mm_users == 1
  sched/membarrier: Return -ENOMEM to userspace on memory allocation
    failure
