CVE-2024-46838
userfaultfd: don't BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
userfaultfd: don't BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table
Since khugepaged was changed to allow retracting page tables in file
mappings without holding the mmap lock, these BUG_ON()s are wrong - get
rid of them.
We could also remove the preceding "if (unlikely(...))" block, but then we
could reach pte_offset_map_lock() with transhuge pages not just for file
mappings but also for anonymous mappings - which would probably be fine
but I think is not necessarily expected.
