[LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] Enhancements to RCU-protected VMA walks

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

 



With the introduction of the per-vma locking in the pagefault handler,
the VMA tree is beginning to be used without the mmap_lock taken at all.

I'd like to talk about where we are in the process of RCU-protected VMA
walks, and where we are headed with a discussion around problems which
may arise and some mitigation ideas.

AKA: The annual mmap_sem/mmap_lock talk - And this time we mean it!
