Subject: [PATCH 3.2 103/106] mm: fix NULL ptr dereference in migrate_pages

3.2.93-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@...il.com>

commit f2a9ef880763d7fbd657a3af646e132a90d70d34 upstream.

Commit 3268c63 ("mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct") has
added an odd construct where 'mm' is checked for being NULL, and if it is,
it would get dereferenced anyways by mput()ing it.

This would lead to the following NULL ptr deref and BUG() when calling
migrate_pages() with a pid that has no mm struct:
