[PATCH v2 0/3] per-vma locks in userfaultfd
From: Lokesh Gidra
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 14:35:43 EST
Performing userfaultfd operations (like copy/move etc.) in critical
section of mmap_lock (read-mode) causes significant contention on the
lock when operations requiring the lock in write-mode are taking place
concurrently. We can use per-vma locks instead to significantly reduce
the contention issue.
Changes since v1 [1]:
- rebase patches on 'mm-unstable' branch

Lokesh Gidra (3):
userfaultfd: move userfaultfd_ctx struct to header file
userfaultfd: protect mmap_changing with rw_sem in userfaulfd_ctx
userfaultfd: use per-vma locks in userfaultfd operations
