[PATCH v2 5/6] mm: introduce mod_vm_flags_nolock and use it in untrack_pfn

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Wed Jan 25 2023 - 03:40:50 EST


In cases when VMA flags are modified after VMA was isolated and mmap_lock
was downgraded, flags modifications would result in an assertion because
mmap write lock is not held.
Introduce mod_vm_flags_nolock to be used in such situation.
Pass a hint to untrack_pfn to conditionally use mod_vm_flags_nolock for
flags modification and to avoid assertion.
