Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 6/6] mm: move vma locking out of vma_prepare and
dup_anon_vma
* Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@...gle.com> [230803 13:27]:
> vma_prepare() is currently the central place where vmas are being locked

> it also obscures vma locking and makes it harder to follow the locking

Maybe if (merge_prev) instead of prev? We will write lock prev if it
exists and won't change with the current check (case 3 and 8,
specifically), with this change case 4 will need to lock prev as it
shifts prev->vm_end lower.
