[PATCH v2 tip/perf/core 2/5] mm: switch to 64-bit mm_lock_seq/vm_lock_seq on 64-bit architectures
From: Andrii Nakryiko
Date: Tue Oct 01 2024 - 18:52:52 EST
To increase mm->mm_lock_seq robustness, switch it from int to long, so
that it's a 64-bit counter on 64-bit systems and we can stop worrying
about it wrapping around in just ~4 billion iterations. Same goes for
VMA's matching vm_lock_seq, which is derived from mm_lock_seq.
I didn't use __u64 outright to keep 32-bit architectures unaffected, but
if it seems important enough, I have nothing against using __u64.
