That's correct. We need to reset mm->mmap so that the loop in
__oom_reap_task_mm() stops immediately. However with maple trees I
believe that loop is different and with an empty tree there would be
no dereferencing. Liam?

unmap_vmas() does not require a mmap_write_lock and doing in under
read lock protection allows OOM-killer and process_mrelease to run in
parallel with exit_mmap. That was the reason I start with
mmap_read_lock and then switch to mmap_write_lock. If that creates
issues we should switch to mmap_write_lock for the whole duration of
this call.

Suren.
