<here>, another thread can perform an munmap(), and the file can be totally dismantled.

             down_read(&current->mm->mmap_sem);


So referencing 'mapping' is *buggy* here.
I believe that you have to move 'fput(file);' *after* the folloging two lines.

Yes, sorry, you mentioned that before and I meant to address that.  I almost
reordered those operations originally because I think that it is cleaner
when acquires and releases are done in the opposite order.  However, I was
also trying to change as little as possible too.

Anyway, attached is an updated patch.

   Thanx...

      ps
