The patch titled Subject: mmap locking API: initial implementation as rwsem wrappers has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mmap-locking-api-initial-implementation-as-rwsem-wrappers.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michel Lespinasse <walken@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mmap locking API: initial implementation as rwsem wrappers This patch series adds a new mmap locking API replacing the existing mmap_sem lock and unlocks. Initially the API is just implemente in terms of inlined rwsem calls, so it doesn't provide any new functionality. There are two justifications for the new API: - At first, it provides an easy hooking point to instrument mmap_sem locking latencies independently of any other rwsems. - In the future, it may be a starting point for replacing the rwsem implementation with a different one, such as range locks. This is something that is being explored, even though there is no wide concensus about this possible direction yet. (see https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11401483/) This patch (of 12): This change wraps the existing mmap_sem related rwsem calls into a new mmap locking API. There are two justifications for the new API: - At first, it provides an easy hooking point to instrument mmap_sem locking latencies independently of any other rwsems. - In the future, it may be a starting point for replacing the rwsem implementation with a different one, such as range locks.
