Other than that looks OK to me. Maybe we want to add an explicit note that vm_ops::close cannot take mmap_sem in any form. The changelog should also mention that you have considered remove_vma and its previous no MM locking assumption. You can argue that fput is async and close callback shouldn't really need mmap_sem. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
