Subject: [PATCH v4 09/10] mm/vma: update vma_assert_locked() to use lockdep
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 20:12:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <538762f079cc4fa76ff8bf30a8a9525a09961451.1769198904.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1769198904.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

We can use lockdep to avoid unnecessary work here, otherwise update the
code to logically evaluate all pertinent cases and share code with
vma_assert_write_locked().

Make it clear here that we treat the VMA being detached at this point as a
bug, this was only implicit before.
