[PATCH] mm: proc/task_mmu: Use walk_page_range_vma() for smaps
From: kaleshsingh
Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 01:19:25 EST
From: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@xxxxxxxxxx>
Modify smap_gather_stats() to use walk_page_range_vma() instead of
walk_page_range() when walking page tables.
walk_page_range() internally calls find_vma(), which asserts that
mmap_lock is held. This assertion fails when reading /proc/pid/smaps
under per-VMA locks (where mmap_lock is not held).
walk_page_range_vma() walks a range within a single VMA and does not
use find_vma(). It relies on the VMA lock instead (when configured
with PGWALK_VMA_RDLOCK_VERIFY), making it compatible with per-VMA
locks.
Fixes: ea3085dd7a4e ("fs/proc/task_mmu: read proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} under per-vma lock")
