vms_abort_munmap_vmas() is a recovery path where, on entry, some VMAs have already been torn down halfway (in a way we can't undo) but are still present in the maple tree. At this point, we *must* remove the VMAs from the VMA tree, otherwise we get UAF. Because removing VMA tree nodes can require memory allocation, the existing code has an error path which tries to handle this by reattaching the VMAs; but that can't be done safely. A nicer way to fix it would probably be to preallocate enough maple tree nodes for the removal before the point of no return, or something like that; but for now, fix it the easy and kinda ugly way, by marking this allocation __GFP_NOFAIL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
