[PATCH v2 19/28] binder: perform page installation outside of locks

From: Carlos Llamas
Date: Fri Dec 01 2023 - 12:24:37 EST


Split out the insertion of pages to be outside of the alloc->mutex in a
separate binder_install_buffer_pages() routine. Since this is no longer
serialized, we must look at the full range of pages used by the buffers.
The installation is protected with mmap_sem in write mode since multiple
tasks might race to install the same page.

Besides avoiding unnecessary nested locking this helps in preparation of
switching the alloc->mutex into a spinlock_t in subsequent patches.
