Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: Take all anon_vma locks in anon_vma_lock
From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>
Take all the locks for all the anon_vmas in anon_vma_lock, this properly
excludes migration and the transparent hugepage code from VMA changes done
by mmap/munmap/mprotect/expand_stack/etc...
Unfortunately, this requires adding a new lock (mm->anon_vma_chain_lock),
otherwise we have an unavoidable lock ordering conflict. This changes the
locking rules for the "same_vma" list to be either mm->mmap_sem for write,
or mm->mmap_sem for read plus the new mm->anon_vma_chain lock. This limits
the place where the new lock is taken to 2 locations - anon_vma_prepare and
expand_downwards.
Document the locking rules for the same_vma list in the anon_vma_chain and
remove the anon_vma_lock call from expand_upwards, which does not need it.
