Subject: mm: rmap: fix use-after-free in __put_anon_vma
From: Andrey Ryabinin <[email protected]>
commit 624483f3ea82598ab0f62f1bdb9177f531ab1892 upstream.
While working address sanitizer for kernel I've discovered
use-after-free bug in __put_anon_vma.
For the last anon_vma, anon_vma->root freed before child anon_vma.
Later in anon_vma_free(anon_vma) we are referencing to already freed
anon_vma->root to check rwsem.
This fixes it by freeing the child anon_vma before freeing
anon_vma->root.
