commit606c812eb1upstream The error unrolling was leaving the VMAs detached in many cases and leaving the locked_vm statistic altered, and skipping the unrolling entirely in the case of the vma tree write failing. Fix the error path by re-attaching the detached VMAs and adding the necessary goto for the failed vma tree write, and fix the locked_vm statistic by only updating after the vma tree write succeeds.

Howlett <Liam.Howlett@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> [ dwmw2: Strictly, the original patch wasn't *re-attaching* the detached VMAs. They *were* still attached but just had the 'detached' flag set, which is an optimisation. Which doesn't exist in 6.3, so drop that. Also drop the call to vma_start_write() which came in with the per-VMA locking in 6.4. ] [ dwmw2 (6.1): It's do_mas_align_munmap() here. And has two call sites for the now-removed munmap_sidetree() function. Inline them both rather then trying to backport various dependencies with potentially subtle interactions. ] Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
