Subject: [PATCH RFC 04/17] userfaultfd: introduce mfill_get_vma() and mfill_put_vma()
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 21:29:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127192936.1250096-5-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127192936.1250096-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
Split the code that finds, locks and verifies VMA from mfill_atomic()
into a helper function.
This function will be used later during refactoring of
mfill_atomic_pte_copy().
Add a counterpart mfill_put_vma() helper that unlocks the VMA and
releases map_changing_lock.
