[PATCH v12 21/31] mm: Introduce find_vma_rcu()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This allows to search for a VMA structure without holding the mmap_sem.

The search is repeated while the mm seqlock is changing and until we found
a valid VMA.

While under the RCU protection, a reference is taken on the VMA, so the
caller must call put_vma() once it not more need the VMA structure.

At the time a VMA is inserted in the MM RB tree, in vma_rb_insert(), a
reference is taken to the VMA by calling get_vma().

When removing a VMA from the MM RB tree, the VMA is not release immediately
but at the end of the RCU grace period through vm_rcu_put(). This ensures
that the VMA remains allocated until the end the RCU grace period.

Since the vm_file pointer, if valid, is released in put_vma(), there is no
guarantee that the file pointer will be valid on the returned VMA.
