The patch titled Subject: mm: allow fault_dirty_shared_page() to be called under the VMA lock has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-allow-fault_dirty_shared_page-to-be-called-under-the-vma-lock.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-allow-fault_dirty_shared_page-to-be-called-under-the-vma-lock.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: allow fault_dirty_shared_page() to be called under the VMA lock Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2023 01:20:33 +0100 By making maybe_unlock_mmap_for_io() handle the VMA lock correctly, we make fault_dirty_shared_page() safe to be called without the mmap lock held.
