ARM: missing ->mmap_sem around find_vma() in swp_emulate.c
commit 7bf9b7be upstream. find_vma() is *not* safe when somebody else is removing vmas. Not just the return value might get bogus just as you are getting it (this instance doesn't try to dereference the resulting vma), the search itself can get buggered in rather spectacular ways. IOW, ->mmap_sem really, really is not optional here. Signed-off-by:Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by:
