The patch titled Subject: mm/vma: extract validate_mm() from vma_complete() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-vma-extract-validate_mm-from-vma_complete.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-vma-extract-validate_mm-from-vma_complete.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: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vma: extract validate_mm() from vma_complete() Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:25:29 -0400 vma_complete() will need to be called during an unsafe time to call validate_mm(). Extract the call in all places now so that only one location can be modified in the next change.
