From ab92661d5d9514647346047f30f67a7f35ffea67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carsten Otte Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 15:12:16 -0800 Subject: do_wp_page: fix regression with execute in place Fix do_wp_page for VM_MIXEDMAP mappings. In the case where pfn_valid returns 0 for a pfn at the beginning of do_wp_page and the mapping is not shared writable, the code branches to label `gotten:' with old_page == NULL. In case the vma is locked (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED), lock_page, clear_page_mlock, and unlock_page try to access the old_page. This patch checks whether old_page is valid before it is dereferenced. The regression was introduced by "mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable" (commit b291f000393f5a0b679012b39d79fbc85c018233).
