Mike Kravetz b6305049f3 ipc/shm: call underlying open/close vm_ops
Shared memory segments can be created that are backed by hugetlb pages. 
When this happens, the vmas associated with any mappings (shmat) are
marked VM_HUGETLB, yet the vm_ops for such mappings are provided by
ipc/shm (shm_vm_ops).  There is a mechanism to call the underlying hugetlb
vm_ops, and this is done for most operations.  However, it is not done for
open and close.

This was not an issue until the introduction of the hugetlb vma_lock. 
This lock structure is pointed to by vm_private_data and the open/close
vm_ops help maintain this structure.  The special hugetlb routine called
at fork took care of structure updates at fork time.  However,
vma_splitting is not properly handled for ipc shared memory mappings
backed by hugetlb pages.  This can result in a "kernel NULL pointer
dereference" BUG or use after free as two vmas point to the same lock
structure.

Update the shm open and close routines to always call the underlying open
and close routines.

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 Restructured Text 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.
