From 5ae2244069f34b8ac4b2a9677e1d410040696fda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix NULL ptr deref when walking hugepages A missing validation of the value returned by find_vma() could cause a NULL ptr dereference when walking the pagetable. This is triggerable from usermode by a simple user by trying to read a page info out of /proc/pid/pagemap which doesn't exist. Introduced by commit 041c58ea8c2d ("thp: optimize away unnecessary page table locking").
