The old code did:
/*
* When changing only vma->vm_end, we don't really need
* anon_vma lock.
*/
if (vma->anon_vma && (insert || importer || start != vma->vm_start))
anon_vma = vma->anon_vma;
if (anon_vma) {
spin_lock(&anon_vma->lock);
why did it become unconditional? (and no idea why it was removed)
But I'm not sure about this part.... this is really only a question, I
may well be wrong, I just don't get it.
