Yes, you are right.
The problem is internally inconsistent between header and dump data in
core file that
cause wrong vma detection in gdb.
In my opinion, if the factor whether to dump or not is changed while
coredump is working it is
reasonable to choose anyone.

I'll try to find another way how to pass or save vma size with consistency.

So concurrent shared memory removal causes inconsistencies.
But concurrent shared memory removal can still cause inconsistency
after this patch, can't it? If it happens while vma_filesz[] is being
populated or if it happens between vma_filesz[] population and
vma_filesz[] usage. This will result in a dump file which is
internally consistent, but is inconsistent with reality?
If my understanding is correct then please fully describe this scenario
within the changelog and explain why it is tolerable, if it is
tolerable.

Use kmalloc_array() here, in case a disaster has occurred...

[RFC PATCH] fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix inconsistent vma dump size
vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper
and it is supposed to be same values for same vma.
But vma_dump_size() could be different, while coredump is procceeded.
(e.g. remove shared memory)
In that case, header info and vma size could be inconsistent
and it cause wrong coredump file creation.
Fix the problem by always using the same vma dump size
which is stored in vma_filsz.
