[PATCH v2 1/9] mm: add find_vma()-like API but RCU protected and taking VMA lock

From: Andrii Nakryiko
Date: Fri May 24 2024 - 00:11:11 EST


Existing lock_vma_under_rcu() API assumes exact VMA match, so it's not
a 100% equivalent of find_vma(). There are use cases that do want
find_vma() semantics of finding an exact VMA or the next one.

Also, it's important for such an API to let user distinguish between not
being able to get per-VMA lock and not having any VMAs at or after
provided address.

As such, this patch adds a new find_vma()-like API,
find_and_lock_vma_rcu(), which finds exact or next VMA, attempts to take
per-VMA lock, and if that fails, returns ERR_PTR(-EBUSY). It still
returns NULL if there is no VMA at or after address. In successfuly case
it will return valid and non-isolated VMA with VMA lock taken.

This API will be used in subsequent patch in this patch set to implement
a new user-facing API for querying process VMAs.
