The patch titled Subject: mm: replace vma_lock_anon_vma with anon_vma_lock_read/write has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-replace-vma_lock_anon_vma-with-anon_vma_lock_read-write.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-replace-vma_lock_anon_vma-with-anon_vma_lock_read-write.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-replace-vma_lock_anon_vma-with-anon_vma_lock_read-write.patch 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/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: replace vma_lock_anon_vma with anon_vma_lock_read/write Sequence vma_lock_anon_vma() - vma_unlock_anon_vma() isn't safe if anon_vma appeared between lock and unlock. We have to check anon_vma first or call anon_vma_prepare() to be sure that it's here. There are only few users of these legacy helpers. Let's get rid of them. This patch fixes anon_vma lock imbalance in validate_mm(). Write lock isn't required here, read lock is enough. And reorders expand_downwards/expand_upwards: security_mmap_addr() and wrapping-around check don't have to be under anon vma lock.
