Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] mm: validate mm in do_madvise
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 15:39:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200212233946.246210-4-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200212233946.246210-1-minchan@kernel.org>
Oleg pointed out mm could be nulllified right after mm_access succeeds.
This patch validates it before the using.
