Subject: [PATCH v3 3/9] mm/rmap: skip unfaulted VMAs on anon_vma clone, unlink
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 14:50:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <085a25f7528e1c8c687276e9b856e88dc8f105ca.1768746221.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1768746221.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>
For both anon_vma_clone() and unlink_anon_vmas(), if the source VMA or the
VMA to be linked are unfaulted (e.g. !vma->anon_vma), then the functions
do nothing. Simply exit early in these cases.
In the unlink_anon_vmas() case we can also remove a conditional that
checks whether vma->anon_vma is set.
