[PATCH v2 0/3] execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With /proc/pid/maps now being read under per-vma lock protection we can
reuse parts of that code to execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl also without
taking mmap_lock. The change is designed to reduce mmap_lock contention
and prevent PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl calls from blocking address space updates.

This patchset was split out of the original patchset [1] that introduced
per-vma lock usage for /proc/pid/maps reading. It contains PROCMAP_QUERY
tests, code refactoring patch to simplify the main change and the actual
transition to per-vma lock.

Changes since v1 [2]
- Added Tested-by and Acked-by, per SeongJae Park
- Fixed NOMMU case, per Vlastimil Babka
- Renamed proc_maps_query_data to proc_maps_locking_ctx,
per Vlastimil Babka
