mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()
Things can go wrong if fault_around_bytes will be changed under do_fault_around(): between fault_around_mask() and fault_around_pages(). Let's read fault_around_bytes only once during do_fault_around() and calculate mask based on the reading. Note: fault_around_bytes can only be updated via debug interface. Also I've tried but was not able to trigger a bad behaviour without the patch. So I would not consider this patch as urgent. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
