From 63c3b902e517012b127d6528434b928ceaa10f7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michel Lespinasse Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:14:47 -0800 Subject: mm: add anon_vma_lock to validate_mm() Iterating over the vma->anon_vma_chain without anon_vma_lock may cause NULL ptr deref in anon_vma_interval_tree_verify(), because the node in the chain might have been removed.
