The patch titled Subject: mm: introduce vma detached flag has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-introduce-vma-detached-flag.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-introduce-vma-detached-flag.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: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: introduce vma detached flag Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:36:21 -0800 Per-vma locking mechanism will search for VMA under RCU protection and then after locking it, has to ensure it was not removed from the VMA tree after we found it. To make this check efficient, introduce a vma->detached flag to mark VMAs which were removed from the VMA tree.
