Now that anon_vma lock and i_mmap_mutex are both sleepable mutex, it

This is essential for a scheduling HW sync in RDMA drivers which
apply on demand paging methods.

Ok, this is better, but it still does not work =)
Nobody synchronize with this srcu. There at least two candidates:
mmu_notifier_release() and mmu_notifier_unregister().
They call synchronize_rcu(), you must replace it with synchronize_srcu().
Yes, I understand - will fix.

changes from V0:
1. srcu_struct should be shared and not allocated in each callback
- removed from callbacks
2. added srcu_struct under mmu_notifier_mm
3. init_srcu_struct when creating mmu_notifier_mm
4. srcu_cleanup when destroying mmu_notifier_mm

move it upper, out of mm->mmap_sem lock. and fix error path.
Yes, I see that init_srcu_struct is using GFP_KERNEL allocations.
But what if do_mmu_notifier_register was called from
__mmu_notifier_register (where mmap_sem is held)? won't I end up with
the same violation?
Another question,
Just to understand - I should move only the init_srcu_struct() call out
of mmap_sem (will require checking !mm_has_notifiers(mm) twice)? or the
entire mmu_notifier_mm initialization?
