The quilt patch titled Subject: maple_tree: remove rcu_read_lock() from mt_validate() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was maple_tree-remove-rcu_read_lock-from-mt_validate.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: maple_tree: remove rcu_read_lock() from mt_validate() Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2024 13:54:17 -0400 The write lock should be held when validating the tree to avoid updates racing with checks. Holding the rcu read lock during a large tree validation may also cause a prolonged rcu read window and "rcu_preempt detected stalls" warnings.
