[PATCH 1/3] userfaultfd: correctly prevent registering VM_DROPPABLE regions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



vma_can_userfault() masks off non-userfaultfd VM flags from vm_flags.
The vm_flags & VM_DROPPABLE test will then always be false, incorrectly
allowing VM_DROPPABLE regions to be registered with userfaultfd.

Additionally, vm_flags is not guaranteed to correspond to the actual
VMA's flags. Fix this test by checking the VMA's flags directly.
