-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------
commit 9ab4233dd08036fe34a89c7dc6f47a8bf2eb29eb upstream.
Otherwise the code races with munmap (causing a use-after-free
of the vma) or with close (causing a use-after-free of the struct
file).
The bug was introduced by commit 90ed52ebe481 ("[PATCH] holepunch: fix
mmap_sem i_mutex deadlock")
[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- Adjust context
- madvise_remove() calls vmtruncate_range(), not do_fallocate()]
[luto: Backported to 3.0: Adjust context]
