The patch titled Subject: mm: move FAULT_FLAG_VMA_LOCK check down from do_fault() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-move-fault_flag_vma_lock-check-down-from-do_fault.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-move-fault_flag_vma_lock-check-down-from-do_fault.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: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: move FAULT_FLAG_VMA_LOCK check down from do_fault() Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2023 19:54:07 +0100 Perform the check at the start of do_read_fault(), do_cow_fault() and do_shared_fault() instead. Should be no performance change from the last commit.
