The try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of page-table mappings.

Kernel: mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking
The try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of page-table mappings.
It was found that the try_to_unmap_cluster() function in the Linux kernel's Memory Managment subsystem did not properly handle page locking in certain cases, which could potentially trigger the BUG_ON() macro in the mlock_vma_page() function. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2014-3122 Kernel: mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking
Linux kernel kernel's Memory Management subsystem 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.
