From: Hugh Dickins Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:12:54 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f18194275c39835cb84563500995e0d503a32d9a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock After several hours, kbuild tests hang with anon_vma_prepare() spinning on a newly allocated anon_vma's lock - on a box with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y (which makes this very much more likely, but it could happen without). The ever-subtle page_lock_anon_vma() now needs a further twist: since anon_vma_prepare() and anon_vma_fork() are liable to change the ->root of a reused anon_vma structure at any moment, page_lock_anon_vma() needs to check page_mapped() again before succeeding, otherwise page_unlock_anon_vma() might address a different root->lock.
