    mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect · d3cb8bf6
    Mel Gorman 提交于
    A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the
    entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration
    entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as
    read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write
    again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write
    migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially
    allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by
    double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration
    completes.
