Re: [PATCH v2 3/6] mm: replace mmap with vma write lock assertions when operating on a vma

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Wed Aug 02 2023 - 13:14:14 EST


* Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> [230801 18:07]:
> Vma write lock assertion always includes mmap write lock assertion and
> additional vma lock checks when per-VMA locks are enabled. Replace
> weaker mmap_assert_write_locked() assertions with stronger
> vma_assert_write_locked() ones when we are operating on a vma which
> is expected to be locked.
