From c0fd2101781ef761b636769b2f445351f71c3626 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlos Llamas Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 20:12:18 +0000 Subject: Revert "android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA" This reverts commit a43cfc87caaf46710c8027a8c23b8a55f1078f19. This patch fixed an issue reported by syzkaller in [1]. However, this turned out to be only a band-aid in binder. The root cause, as bisected by syzkaller, was fixed by commit 5789151e48ac ("mm/mmap: undo ->mmap() when mas_preallocate() fails"). We no longer need the patch for binder. Reverting such patch allows us to have a lockless access to alloc->vma in specific cases where the mmap_lock is not required. This approach avoids the contention that caused a performance regression.
