[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()

[SeongJae Park]

process_madvise() calls do_madvise() for each address range.  Then, each
do_madvise() invocation holds and releases same mmap_lock.  Optimize the
redundant lock operations by splitting do_madvise() internal logics
including the mmap_lock operations, and calling the small logics
directly from process_madvise() in a sequence that removes the redundant
locking.

Changes from RFC v1 (20250111004618.1566-1-sj@xxxxxxxxxx)
- Split out do_madvise() and use those from vector_madvise(), instead of
  adding a flag to do_madvise() (Liam R. Howlett)

SeongJae Park (4):
  mm/madvise: split out mmap locking operations for madvise()
  mm/madvise: split out madvise input validity check
  mm/madvise: split out madvise() behavior execution
  mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
    process_madvise()
