Subject: Re: [PATCH v10 05/18] mm: mark vmas detached upon exit

* Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@...gle.com> [250213 17:47]:
> When exit_mmap() removes vmas belonging to an exiting task, it does not
> mark them as detached since they can't be reached by other tasks and they
> will be freed shortly. Once we introduce vma reuse, all vmas will have to
> be in detached state before they are freed to ensure vma when reused is
> in a consistent state. Add missing vma_mark_detached() before freeing the
> vma.
