    mm/mempolicy: Allow lookup_node() to handle fatal signal · ba841078
    Peter Xu authored
    lookup_node() uses gup to pin the page and get node information.  It
    checks against ret>=0 assuming the page will be filled in.  However it's
    also possible that gup will return zero, for example, when the thread is
    quickly killed with a fatal signal.  Teach lookup_node() to gracefully
    return an error -EFAULT if it happens.
    
    Meanwhile, initialize "page" to NULL to avoid potential risk of
    exploiting the pointer.
    
    Fixes: 4426e945 ("mm/gup: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times")
