| |
3.16.54-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Viktor Slavkovic <viktors@google.com>
commit 443064cb0b1fb4569fe0a71209da7625129fb760 upstream.
A lock-unlock is missing in ASHMEM_SET_SIZE ioctl which can result in a race condition when mmap is called. After the !asma->file check, before setting asma->size, asma->file can be set in mmap. That would result in having different asma->size than the mapped memory size. Combined with ASHMEM_UNPIN ioctl and shrinker invocation, this can result in memory corruption.
