In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nitro_enclaves: Use get_user_pages_unlocked() call to handle mmap assert
After commit 5b78ed24e8ec (“mm/pagemap: add mmap_assert_locked()
annotations to find_vma*()”), the call to get_user_pages() will trigger the
mmap assert. static inline void mmap_assert_locked(struct mm_struct *mm) {
lockdep_assert_held(&mm->mmap_lock);
VM_BUG_ON_MM(!rwsem_is_locked(&mm->mmap_lock), mm); } [ 62.521410] kernel
BUG at include/linux/mmap_lock.h:156!

get_user_pages_unlocked() when setting the enclave memory regions. That’s a
similar pattern as mmap_read_lock() used together with get_user_pages().
