      Problem is that MmFlushImageSection acquires the PFN lock, then calls MmDereferenceSegmentWithLock, which in turn calls MmpFreePageFileSegment, which aquires the PFN lock, if it wasn't acquired before, and also releases it before calling MmFreePageTablesSectionSegment (if it wasn't aquired before). If the loack was aquired before, MmFreePageTablesSectionSegment will be called with the lock held and then calls _MmLockSectionSegment, which tries to acquire a fast mutex.

       

      Fix:

      1. Stop calling MmDereferenceSegmentWithLock while holding the PFN lock, because the function can clearly not handle, as it needs to lock the section eventually and just holding the PFN lock is not good enough, since it can be called without it held as well (should be renamed). Holding the PFN lock for such extended times is a bad idea, too.
      2. Add proper IRQL and lock requirements annotation to all functions involved
      3. Add ASSERTs to all functions involved.
