The patch titled Subject: mm: fix some minor per-VMA lock issues in userfaultfd has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-fix-some-minor-per-vma-lock-issues-in-userfaultfd.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-fix-some-minor-per-vma-lock-issues-in-userfaultfd.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: fix some minor per-VMA lock issues in userfaultfd Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 15:45:02 +0100 Rename lock_vma() to uffd_lock_vma() because it really is uffd specific. Remove comment referencing unlock_vma() which doesn't exist. Fix the comment about lock_vma_under_rcu() which I just made incorrect.
