[merged] userfaultfd-shmem-handle-coredumping-in-handle_userfault.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: userfaultfd: shmem: handle coredumping in handle_userfault()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     userfaultfd-shmem-handle-coredumping-in-handle_userfault.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>
Subject: userfaultfd: shmem: handle coredumping in handle_userfault()

Anon and hugetlbfs handle FOLL_DUMP set by get_dump_page() internally to
__get_user_pages().

shmem as opposed has no special FOLL_DUMP handling there so
handle_mm_fault() is invoked without mmap_sem and ends up calling
handle_userfault() that isn't expecting to be invoked without mmap_sem
held.

This makes handle_userfault() fail immediately if invoked through
shmem_vm_ops->fault during coredumping and solves the problem.

The side effect is a BUG_ON with no lock held triggered by the coredumping
process which exits.  Only 4.11 is affected, pre-4.11 anon memory holes
are skipped in __get_user_pages by checking FOLL_DUMP explicitly against
empty pagetables (mm/gup.c:no_page_table()).

It's zero cost as we already had a check for current->flags to prevent
futex to trigger userfaults during exit (PF_EXITING).
