Hugh Dickins 9a05b774af khugepaged: khugepaged_test_exit() check mmget_still_valid()
[ Upstream commit bbe98f9cadff58cdd6a4acaeba0efa8565dabe65 ]

Move collapse_huge_page()'s mmget_still_valid() check into
khugepaged_test_exit() itself.  collapse_huge_page() is used for anon THP
only, and earned its mmget_still_valid() check because it inserts a huge
pmd entry in place of the page table's pmd entry; whereas
collapse_file()'s retract_page_tables() or collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
merely clears the page table's pmd entry.  But core dumping without mmap
lock must have been as open to mistaking a racily cleared pmd entry for a
page table at physical page 0, as exit_mmap() was.  And we certainly have
no interest in mapping as a THP once dumping core.

Fixes: 59ea6d06cf ("coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
