This patch results in some spam :) there's a stray mmap_assert_locked() in anon_vma_name() that triggers constantly. Andrew - I attach a fix-patch for this, could you apply as at least a temporary fix? As mm-new is broken at the moment with this patch. Suren - could you check and obviously suggest something more sensible if you feel this isn't right. I'm not actually sure if we'd always have the VMA read lock here, maybe we need an 'assert mmap lock or vma lock' predicate? Worth auditing other mmap lock asserts that might have been missed with this change also. Cheers, Lorenzo ----8<----
