[PATCH 1/3] xen/gntdev: fix unsafe vma access

From: Daniel De Graaf
Date: Wed Jan 02 2013 - 17:58:13 EST


In gntdev_ioctl_get_offset_for_vaddr, we need to hold mmap_sem while
calling find_vma() to avoid potentially having the result freed out from
under us. Similarly, the MMU notifier functions need to synchronize with
gntdev_vma_close to avoid map->vma being freed during their iteration.
