I assume that this fixes a real problem when we take i_mmap_mutex already up in unmap_mapping_range mutex_lock(&mapping->i_mmap_mutex); unmap_mapping_range_tree | unmap_mapping_range_list unmap_mapping_range_vma zap_page_range_single unmap_single_vma unmap_hugepage_range mutex_lock(&vma->vm_file->f_mapping->i_mmap_mutex); And that this should have been marked for stable as well (I haven't checked when this has been introduced). But then I do not see how this help when you still do this: [...] > diff --git a/mm/memory.c b/mm/memory.c > index 1b7dc66..545e18a 100644 > --- a/mm/memory.c > +++ b/mm/memory.c > @@ -1326,8 +1326,11 @@ static void unmap_single_vma(struct mmu_gather *tlb, > * Since no pte has actually been setup, it is > * safe to do nothing in this case. > */ > - if (vma->vm_file) > - unmap_hugepage_range(vma, start, end, NULL); > + if (vma->vm_file) { > + mutex_lock(&vma->vm_file->f_mapping->i_mmap_mutex); > + __unmap_hugepage_range(tlb, vma, start, end, NULL); > + mutex_unlock(&vma->vm_file->f_mapping->i_mmap_mutex); > + } > } else > unmap_page_range(tlb, vma, start, end, details); > } -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX s.r.o.
