staging: android: ashmem: Fix possible deadlock in ashmem_ioctl
ashmem_mutex may create a chain of dependencies like: CPU0 CPU1 mmap syscall ioctl syscall -> mmap_sem (acquired) -> ashmem_ioctl -> ashmem_mmap -> ashmem_mutex (acquired) -> ashmem_mutex (try to acquire) -> copy_from_user -> mmap_sem (try to acquire) There is a lock odering problem between mmap_sem and ashmem_mutex causing a lockdep splat[1] during a syzcaller test. This patch fixes the problem by move copy_from_user out of ashmem_mutex.
