[PATCH 2/6] vhost: validate MMU notifier registration

Jason Wang
2019-07-23T07:57:14Z

The return value of mmu_notifier_register() is not checked in
vhost_vring_set_num_addr(). This will cause an out of sync between mm
and MMU notifier thus a double free. To solve this, introduce a
boolean flag to track whether MMU notifier is registered and only do
unregistering when it was true.
