Subject: [PATCH] mm: Tweak __vma_enter_locked()
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 04:26:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119042639.3937024-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

Move the commentary on how __vma_enter_locked() behaves from the
body of __vma_start_write() to the head of __vma_enter_locked() and
merge it with the existing documentation.  Also add a call to
mmap_assert_write_locked().
