Subject: mm: fix sleeping function warning from __put_anon_vma
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7f39dda9d86fb4f4f17af0de170decf125726f8c upstream.
Trinity reports BUG:
sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:47
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 5787, name: trinity-c27
__might_sleep < down_write < __put_anon_vma < page_get_anon_vma <
migrate_pages < compact_zone < compact_zone_order < try_to_compact_pages ..
Right, since conversion to mutex then rwsem, we should not put_anon_vma()
from inside an rcu_read_lock()ed section: fix the two places that did so.
And add might_sleep() to anon_vma_free(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
Fixes: 88c22088bf23 ("mm: optimize page_lock_anon_vma() fast-path")
