Yes, that was my preference too.  Then I thought we'd be accused of
mixing early returns and gotos, so did it the goto way.  Since we
both prefer the early return, I'll put it back to that.

Yes, good idea, that's an excellent place for a might_sleep(): done.

Though it does change the patch from a "push this out immediately" to a
"let's wait a little to check we don't now see lots of new warnings".

But that's okay, we've survived three years without it; and I saw no
no warnings myself from the new patch, when running under load plus
lots of page migration.

Thank you - shout if any worries arise once the cap is back on.
I think it's fine, I just felt more comfortable bringing you in.

[PATCH v2] mm: fix sleeping function warning from __put_anon_vma

Trinity reports BUG:
sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:47
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 5787, name: trinity-c27
__might_sleep < down_write < __put_anon_vma < page_get_anon_vma <
migrate_pages < compact_zone < compact_zone_order < try_to_compact_pages ..

Right, since conversion to mutex then rwsem, we should not put_anon_vma()
from inside an rcu_read_lock()ed section: fix the two places that did so.
And add might_sleep() to anon_vma_free(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Fixes: 88c22088bf23 ("mm: optimize page_lock_anon_vma() fast-path")

v2: use early return instead of goto
