From 4eb2b1dcd598f8489130405c81c60c289896d92a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:59:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: acquire the i_mmap_lock before walking the prio_tree to unmap a page When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a reference, the children VMAs are walked and the page is unmapped. The i_mmap_lock is taken for the unmapping of the page but not the walking of the prio_tree. In theory, that tree could be changing if the lock is not held. This patch takes the i_mmap_lock properly for the duration of the prio_tree walk.
