set_mempolicy_home_node() iterates over a list of VMAs and calls
mbind_range() on each VMA, which also iterates over the singular list of
the VMA passed in and potentially splits the VMA. Since the VMA iterator
is not passed through, set_mempolicy_home_node() may now point to a stale
node in the VMA tree. This can result in a UAF as reported by syzbot.
Avoid the stale maple tree node by passing the VMA iterator through to the
underlying call to split_vma().
mbind_range() is also overly complicated, since there are two calling
functions and one already handles iterating over the VMAs. Simplify
mbind_range() to only handle merging and splitting of the VMAs.
Align the new loop in do_mbind() and existing loop in
set_mempolicy_home_node() to use the reduced mbind_range() function. This
allows for a single location of the range calculation and avoids
constantly looking up the previous VMA (since this is a loop over the
VMAs).

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.
