The patch titled Subject: mm: enable maple tree RCU mode by default. has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-enable-maple-tree-rcu-mode-by-default.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-enable-maple-tree-rcu-mode-by-default.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: enable maple tree RCU mode by default. Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:36:07 -0800 Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking. This is necessary for the use of per-VMA locking. RCU mode is enabled by default but disabled when exiting an mm and for the new tree during a fork. Also enable RCU for the tree used in munmap operations to ensure the nodes remain valid for readers. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230227173632.3292573-9-surenb@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Liam R.
