[PATCH 05/16] mm: Protect VMA modifications using VMA sequence count

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Tue Aug 08 2017 - 10:39:33 EST


The VMA sequence count has been introduced to allow fast detection of
VMA modification when running a page fault handler without holding
the mmap_sem.

This patch provides protection agains the VMA modification done in :
- madvise()
- mremap()
- mpol_rebind_policy()
- vma_replace_policy()
- change_prot_numa()
- mlock(), munlock()
- mprotect()
- mmap_region()
- collapse_huge_page()
