mm/hmm: fix use after free with struct hmm in the mmu notifiers
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is not a fence and the mmu_notifier system will continue to reference hmm->mn until the srcu grace period expires. Resulting in use after free races like this: CPU0 CPU1 __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() srcu_read_lock hlist_for_each () // mn == hmm->mn hmm_mirror_unregister() hmm_put() hmm_free() mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() hlist_del_init_rcu(hmm-mn->list) mn->ops->invalidate_range_start(mn, range); mm_get_hmm() mm->hmm = NULL; kfree(hmm) mutex_lock(&hmm->lock); Use SRCU to kfree the hmm memory so that the notifiers can rely on hmm existing. Get the now-safe hmm struct through container_of and directly check kref_get_unless_zero to lock it against free.
