Subject: [PATCH v6 24/24] bpf: Fail bpf_probe_write_user() while mm is switched

From: Nadav Amit <namit@...are.com>

When using a temporary mm, bpf_probe_write_user() should not be able to
write to user memory, since user memory addresses may be used to map
kernel memory.  Detect these cases and fail bpf_probe_write_user() in
such cases.
