From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Andrew, These patches are for 6.2. This patch set expands the VMA iterator API to provide type safety to the VMA operations using the maple tree, as requested by Linus for 6.2 [1] It also addresses another issue of usability brought up by Linus about needing to modify the maple state within the loops. The maple state is has been replaced by the VMA iterator and the iterator is now modified within the MM code so the caller should not need to worry about doing the work themselves when tree modifications occur. This brought up a potential inconsistency of the iterator state and what the user expects, so the inconsistency is addressed to keep the vma iterator safe for use after the looping over a VMA range. This is addressed in patch 3 and 4. While cleaning up the state, the duplicate locking code introduced by the maple tree has been address by abstracting it to two functions: vma_prepare() and vma_complete(). These abstractions allowed for a much simpler __vma_adjust(), which eventually leads to the removal of the __vma_adjust() function by placing the logic into the vma_merge() function itself. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAHk-=wg9WQXBGkNdKD2bqocnN73rDswuWsavBB7T-tekykEn_A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Liam R.
