Subject: mm: disable CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK until its fixed
Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2023 23:37:11 -0700
A memory corruption was reported in [1] with bisection pointing to the
patch [2] enabling per-VMA locks for x86. Disable per-VMA locks config to
prevent this issue while the problem is being investigated. This is
expected to be a temporary measure.
