[PATCH v4 14/21] mm/mmap: Avoid zeroing vma tree in mmap_region()

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Wed Jul 10 2024 - 15:25:52 EST


From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of zeroing the vma tree and then overwriting the area, let the
area be overwritten and then clean up the gathered vmas using
vms_complete_munmap_vmas().

If a driver is mapping over an existing vma, then clear the ptes before
the call_mmap() invocation. This is done using the vms_clear_ptes()
helper.

Temporarily keep track of the number of pages that will be removed and
reduce the charged amount.

This also drops the validate_mm() call in the vma_expand() function.
It is necessary to drop the validate as it would fail since the mm
map_count would be incorrect during a vma expansion, prior to the
cleanup from vms_complete_munmap_vmas().

Clean up the error handing of the vms_gather_munmap_vmas() by calling
the verification within the function.
