mm/huge_memory.c: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
In collapse_huge_page() there is a race window between releasing the mmap_sem read lock and taking the mmap_sem write lock, so find_vma() may return NULL. So check the return value to avoid NULL pointer dereference. collapse_huge_page khugepaged_alloc_page up_read(&mm->mmap_sem) down_write(&mm->mmap_sem) vma = find_vma(mm, address) Signed-off-by: Libin <huawei.libin@huawei.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.
