Subject: [PATCH] mm/madvise: break reclaim when lock race

From: xiaofeng <xiaofeng5@...omi.com>

In Android phones, the recycling thread is likely to hold the mmap_lock to reclaim the memory of the application When the top-App is switched to the background. Once the user switches the application to the top during the recycling process, there is a high possibility that the memory will be allocated due to the inability to obtain the lock, which may cause lag or other problem.
