But refcnt is not initialized yet, so mpol_put could not do the right things and might leak the unused mpol_new. This issue could be triggered easily with the below code snippet if there're many processes doing the below work at the same time: shmid =3D shmget((key_t)5566, 1024 * PAGE_SIZE, 0666|IPC_CREAT); shm =3D shmat(shmid, 0, 0); loop many times { mbind(shm, 1024 * PAGE_SIZE, MPOL_LOCAL, mask, maxnode, 0); mbind(shm + 128 * PAGE_SIZE, 128 * PAGE_SIZE, MPOL_DEFAULT, mask, maxnode, 0); } Fixes: 42288fe366c4 ("mm: mempolicy: Convert shared_policy mutex to spinloc= k") Signed-off-by: Miaohe Lin Cc: # 3.8 Acked-by: Michal Hocko Reported-by: kernel test robot --- v1->v2: Add reproducer snippet and Cc stable.
