Hi,
this patch fixes bugzilla Bug
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5493
This bug describes a search complexity failure in rmap if a single
anon_vma has a huge number of vmas associated with it.
The patch makes the vma prio tree code somewhat more reusable and then uses
that to replace the linked list of vmas in an anon_vma with a prio_tree.
Your patch will not apply against a current -mm, because it
conflicts with my anon_vma linking patches (which attacks
another "rmap walks too many vmas" failure mode).
Please rediff your patch against the latest -mm tree.
