The patch titled mlock: update locked_vm on munmap() of mlocked() region. has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mmap-handle-mlocked-pages-during-map-remap-unmap-mlock-update-locked_vm-on-munmap-of-mlocked-region.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mmap-handle-mlocked-pages-during-map-remap-unmap.patch The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mlock: update locked_vm on munmap() of mlocked() region. From: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@xxxxxx> munlock_vma_pages_range() clears VM_LOCKED for munlock_vma_page(), et al to work. This causes remove_vma_list(), called from do_munmap(), to skip updating locked_vm. We don't want to restore the VM_LOCKED in munlock_vma_pages_range() because the pages are still on the lru. If vmscan attempts to reclaim any of these pages before we get a chance to unmap them, try_to_un{lock|map}() may mlock them again. This will result in freeing an mlocked page. Add comment block to munlock_vma_pages_range() to explain this to future would be callers. Move the accounting of locked_vm from remove_vma_list() to the munlock loop in do_munmap(). This is where the pages are munlocked and VM_LOCKED is cleared. Note that remove_vma_list() is a helper function for do_munmap(), called only from there.
