Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Check resize_disabled before publishing the new subbuf order
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 11:39:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912103938.1127021-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() stores the new order and only then walks
the CPUs, returning -EBUSY if any of them has resizing disabled. A user
mapped buffer has resizing disabled, and __rb_map_vma() reads
buffer->subbuf_order without buffer->mutex, so an mmap of an already
mapped CPU racing the failing order change sizes the mapping with the
new order and inserts pages past the sub-buffer into the VMA.

Check the CPUs before storing the new order.

Fixes: 117c39200d9d ("ring-buffer: Introducing ring-buffer mapping functions")
