[PATCH v7 6/7] mm/madvise: employ mmget_still_valid for write lock

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

 



From: Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@xxxxxxxxxx>

Do the very same trick as we already do since 04f5866e41fb. KSM hints
will require locking mmap_sem for write since they modify vm_flags, so
for remote KSM hinting this additional check is needed.
