[PATCH 3/3] mm: check for VMA being detached before destroying it

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

 



By the time VMA is freed it has to be detached with the exception of
exit_mmap which is destroying the whole VMA tree. Enforce this
requirement before freeing the VMA. exit_mmap in the only user calling
__vm_area_free directly, therefore it won't trigger the new check.
Change VMA initialization to mark new VMAs as detached and change that
flag once the VMA is added into a tree.
