Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

filemap: replace pte_offset_map() with pte_offset_map_nolock()

The vmf->ptl in filemap_fault_recheck_pte_none() is still set from
handle_pte_fault(). But at the same time, we did a pte_unmap(vmf->pte).
After a pte_unmap(vmf->pte) unmap and rcu_read_unlock(), the page table
may be racily changed and vmf->ptl maybe fails to protect the actual page
table. Fix this by replacing pte_offset_map() with
pte_offset_map_nolock().

As David said, the PTL pointer might be stale so if we continue to use
it infilemap_fault_recheck_pte_none(), it might trigger UAF. Also, if
the PTL fails, the issue fixed by commit 58f327f2ce80 ("filemap: avoid
unnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()") might reappear.
