[PATCH v3 29/35] mm: prevent userfaults to be handled under per-vma lock

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

 



Due to the possibility of handle_userfault dropping mmap_lock, avoid fault
handling under VMA lock and retry holding mmap_lock. This can be handled
more gracefully in the future.
