    Hello,

Linux kernel kernel's Memory Management Unit(MMU) is vulnerable to a crash
caused by unlocked memory pages. It could occur during the memory page
migration or while cleaning the swap cache pages.

An unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to crash the system kernel,
resulting in DoS.

Upstream fix:

Thank you.
