'expand' is always locked before it's passed to __vma_adjust() by vma_merge(). It has to be locked before we decide "Can it merge with the predecessor?" here https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/mm/mmap.c#L1201 because a change in VMA can affect that decision. I spent many hours tracking the issue caused by not locking the VMA before making this decision. It might be good to add a comment about this... AFAIKT 'insert' is only used by __split_vma() and it's always a brand new VMA which is not yet linked into mm->mmap.
