[PATCH next] userfaultfd: unassigned vma leads to a potential unreleased locks

[Edward Adam Davis <eadavis@qq.com>]

A deadlock [1] occurs in mfill_get_vma() because the locks mmap_lock
and map_changing_lock are not released; the failure to release them
properly stems from the assignment of the vma variable occurring at
an inappropriate stage.

Moving the vma assignment operation within mfill_get_vma() to after
the vma has been got.

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &mm->mmap_lock --> vm_lock --> &ctx->map_changing_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  rlock(&ctx->map_changing_lock);
                               lock(vm_lock);
                               lock(&ctx->map_changing_lock);
  rlock(&mm->mmap_lock);
