PATCH 1/1 staging: android: ashmem: fix a race condition in ASHMEM_SET_SIZE ioctl
From: Viktor Slavkovic <[email protected]>
A lock-unlock is missing in ASHMEM_SET_SIZE ioctl which can result in a race condition when mmap is called. After the !asma->file check, before setting asma->size, asma->file can be set in mmap. That would result in having different asma->size than the mapped memory size. Combined with ASHMEM_UNPIN ioctl and shrinker invocation, this can result in memory corruption.
