Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix vma_start_write_killable() signal handling
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 03:42:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126034404.2264317-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

If we get a signal, we need to restore the vm_refcnt.  The wrinkle in
that is that we might be the last reference.  If that happens, fix the
refcount to look like we weren't interrupted by a fatal signal.

Reported-by: syzbot+5b19bad23ac7f44bf8b8@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: 2197bb60f890 ("mm: add vma_start_write_killable()")

Andrew, since the vma_start_write_killable() patch is in mm-stable,
I don't think you can put this in as a fixup, right?

Suren, Liam, Vlastimil, Lorenzo ... none of you spotted this bug.
Any other stupid thing I've done?  And am I doing the right thing
with refcount_set()?
