[PATCH v2 2/5] mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern for mprotect() et al.

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Mon Oct 09 2023 - 16:54:16 EST


mprotect() and other functions which change VMA parameters over a range
each employ a pattern of:-

1. Attempt to merge the range with adjacent VMAs.
2. If this fails, and the range spans a subset of the VMA, split it
accordingly.

This is open-coded and duplicated in each case. Also in each case most of
the parameters passed to vma_merge() remain the same.

Create a new function, vma_modify(), which abstracts this operation,
accepting only those parameters which can be changed.

To avoid the mess of invoking each function call with unnecessary
parameters, create inline wrapper functions for each of the modify
operations, parameterised only by what is required to perform the action.

Note that the userfaultfd_release() case works even though it does not
split VMAs - since start is set to vma->vm_start and end is set to
vma->vm_end, the split logic does not trigger.

In addition, since we calculate pgoff to be equal to vma->vm_pgoff + (start
- vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, and start - vma->vm_start will be 0 in this
instance, this invocation will remain unchanged.
