Subject: staging: ashmem: Avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=077f6db9731673753ca41a5c3acbb5ead142658a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

staging: ashmem: Avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls

Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault.  Page faults
grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls
prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex.  The reversed
order of locking between the two can deadlock.

The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and
ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls.  Move the code that accesses userspace pages
outside the ashmem_mutex.
