[PATCH v2 0/3] per-vma locks in userfaultfd

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

 



Performing userfaultfd operations (like copy/move etc.) in critical
section of mmap_lock (read-mode) causes significant contention on the
lock when operations requiring the lock in write-mode are taking place
concurrently. We can use per-vma locks instead to significantly reduce
the contention issue.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- rebase patches on 'mm-unstable' branch
