The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: write-lock VMAs in vma_prepare before modifying them has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-write-lock-vmas-in-vma_prepare-before-modifying-them.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: write-lock VMAs in vma_prepare before modifying them Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 09:36:15 -0800 Write-lock all VMAs which might be affected by a merge, split, expand or shrink operations. All these operations use vma_prepare() before making the modifications, therefore it provides a centralized place to perform VMA locking.
