[PATCH 1/2] mm: fix the racy mm->locked_vm change in

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Tue Sep 29 2015 - 14:31:23 EST


"mm->locked_vm += grow" and vm_stat_account() in acct_stack_growth()
are not safe; multiple threads using the same ->mm can do this at the
same time trying to expans different vma's under down_read(mmap_sem).
This means that one of the "locked_vm += grow" changes can be lost
and we can miss munlock_vma_pages_all() later.

Move this code into the caller(s) under mm->page_table_lock. All other
updates to ->locked_vm hold mmap_sem for writing.
