mm/ksm: fix NULL pointer dereference when KSM zero page is enabled
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
find_mergeable_vma() can return NULL.  In this case, it leads to a crash
when we access vm_mm(its offset is 0x40) later in write_protect_page.
And this case did happen on our server.  The following call trace is
captured in kernel 4.19 with the following patch applied and KSM zero
page enabled on our server.

  commit e86c59b ("mm/ksm: improve deduplication of zero pages with colouring")

So add a vma check to fix it.
