From 60081bf19b0ec8fa40c589bd361fa2bc763f1050 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suren Baghdasaryan Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 08:27:22 -0700 Subject: mm: lock vma explicitly before doing vm_flags_reset and vm_flags_reset_once Implicit vma locking inside vm_flags_reset() and vm_flags_reset_once() is not obvious and makes it hard to understand where vma locking is happening. Also in some cases (like in dup_userfaultfd()) vma should be locked earlier than vma_flags modification. To make locking more visible, change these functions to assert that the vma write lock is taken and explicitly lock the vma beforehand. Fix userfaultfd functions which should lock the vma earlier.
