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);
}

Use 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().Data is provided by the National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
