Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 17/35] mm/mmap: write-lock VMA before shrinking or
 expanding it

Reviewed-by: Liam R. Howlett <Liam.Howlett@...cle.com>

* Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@...gle.com> [230216 00:18]:
> vma_expand and vma_shrink change VMA boundaries. Expansion might also
> result in freeing of an adjacent VMA. Write-lock affected VMAs to prevent
> concurrent page faults.
