From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Wrap the VMA modifications (vma_adjust/unmap_page_range) with sequence counts such that we can easily test if a VMA is changed. The unmap_page_range() one allows us to make assumptions about page-tables; when we find the seqcount hasn't changed we can assume page-tables are still valid. The flip side is that we cannot distinguish between a vma_adjust() and the unmap_page_range() -- where with the former we could have re-checked the vma bounds against the address.
