Subject: [PATCH 2/2] USB: gadget: inode: fix mm lifetime handling
Date: Sun, 31 May 2026 23:04:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260531-mm-uaf-fix-v1-2-91571cc6ca46@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260531-mm-uaf-fix-v1-0-91571cc6ca46@gmail.com>

From: Gabriel Prostitis <prostitisgabriel@gmail.com>

priv stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,
but does not currently hold a reference to it while async
requests are pending.

This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before
completion handling finishes.

Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request
and release it with mmdrop() on request completion.
