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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
