Subject: [PATCH] mm/rmap: Correct some obsolete comments of anon_vma
Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2021 02:24:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210123072459.25903-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)

The commit 2b575eb64f7a ("mm: convert anon_vma->lock to a mutex") changed
spinlock used to serialize access to vma list to mutex. And further, the
commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an
rwsem") converted the mutex to an rwsem for solving scalability problem. So
replace spinlock with rwsem to make comment uptodate.
