Subject[PATCH 4.9 049/177] IB/mlx5: Take write semaphore when changing the vma struct
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@mellanox.com>


[ Upstream commit ecc7d83be3243835c9396a1a2fb8ce95f205207b ]

When the driver disassociate user context, it changes the vma to
anonymous by setting the vm_ops to null and zap the vma ptes.

In order to avoid race in the kernel, we need to take write lock
before we change the vma entries.

Fixes: 7c2344c3bbf97 ('IB/mlx5: Implements disassociate_ucontext API')
