In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Take mmaplock in zappages()

zapvmarange() requires the owning mm's mmaplock to be held.

Taking mmapreadlock under arena->lock would AB-BA against arenavmclose() and arenamapmmap(), both of which run with mmapwritelock held and then acquire arena->lock. Instead drop arena->lock, mmgetnotzero() the vma's mm, take mmapreadlock, and re-resolve the vma via findvma() since it may have been unmapped or replaced while waiting.

Track processed vmls with a per-call generation in vml->zapgen and serialize zappages() callers with a new arena->zapmutex so concurrent callers on different uaddr ranges do not mark each other's vmls processed before the zap is done.
