Subject: [PATCH] mm: unlink_file_vma, remove_vma
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a8fb5618dab7e45c8990f3155628d772a9ed45f9;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] mm: unlink_file_vma, remove_vma

Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus
unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or
vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free.

The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier,
in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any
page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary
cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem).

This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock.  But
testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is
symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to
move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.
