[PATCH 1/2] mm: lock a vma before stack expansion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With recent changes necessitating mmap_lock to be held for write while
expanding a stack, per-VMA locks should follow the same rules and be
write-locked to prevent page faults into the VMA being expanded. Add
the necessary locking.
