We should not walk/touch page tables outside of VMA boundaries when holding only the mmap sem in read mode. Evil user space can modify the VMA layout just before this function runs and e.g., trigger races with page table removal code since commit dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap"). find_vma() does not check if the address is >= the VMA start address; use vma_lookup() instead.

If I may say so these are not great function names. Looking at the code vma_lookup() is inded find_vma() plus the check that the looked up address is indeed inside the vma.IIRC, vma_lookup() was introduced fairly recently. Before that, this additional check was open coded (and still are in some instances). It's confusing, I agree.
This confusion is why I introduced vma_lookup(). My hope is to reduce the users of find_vma() to only those that actually need the added functionality, which are mostly in the mm code.

I think this is pretty independent of the rest of the patches, so do you want me to apply this patch independently or do you want to wait for the others?Sure, please go ahead and apply independently. It'd be great if you could give it a quick sanity test, although I don't expect surprises -- unfortunately, the environment I have easily at hand is not very well suited (#cpu, #mem, #disk ...) for anything that exceeds basic compile tests (and even cross-compiling is significantly faster ...).quoted
