[PATCH v3] ANDROID: binder: change down_write to down_read

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Mar 27 2018 - 22:32:42 EST


binder_update_page_range needs down_write of mmap_sem because
vm_insert_page need to change vma->vm_flags to VM_MIXEDMAP unless
it is set. However, when I profile binder working, it seems
every binder buffers should be mapped in advance by binder_mmap.
It means we could set VM_MIXEDMAP in bider_mmap time which is
already hold a mmap_sem as down_write so binder_update_page_range
doesn't need to hold a mmap_sem as down_write.

Android suffers from mmap_sem contention so let's reduce mmap_sem
down_write.
