[PATCH v6 7/9] binder: use per-vma lock in page installation

From: Carlos Llamas
Date: Tue Dec 03 2024 - 16:57:10 EST


Use per-vma locking for concurrent page installations, this minimizes
contention with unrelated vmas improving performance. The mmap_lock is
still acquired when needed though, e.g. before get_user_pages_remote().

Many thanks to Barry Song who posted a similar approach [1].
