Patch is against 2.6.20.

Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory. Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled in,
so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from being
closed and the memory freed. This results in use-after-free bugs and multiple
freeing of pages, etc.
I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9. Haven't reproduced upstream but it looks
like the same issue is there.
