The diff below from your mail includes both of these steps (v1 -> v3). Changes from v2 -> v3: Split up the free loop, so now we do it in three steps: 1) loop through setting the buffers to NULL, 2) synchronize_rcu() *once*, 3) loop through freeing each of the buffers. This requires allocating some memory to hold the not-yet-freed buffer pointers, but it means much less waiting as doing synchronize_rcu() in a loop is expensive. Again, per Steven's suggestion. Changes from v1 -> v2: Rewrote the fix to use mutex + RCU instead of doing some hand-rolled reference count thing, as per Steven's suggestion. > > The difference is quite large: > > --- > a/mm/mmap_lock.c~mmap_lock-add-tracepoints-around-lock-acquisition-fix-fix > +++ a/mm/mmap_lock.c > @@ -3,13 +3,13 @@ > #include > > #include > -#include > #include > #include > #include > +#include > #include > +#include > #include > -#include > #include > > EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL(mmap_lock_start_locking); > @@ -19,28 +19,13 @@ EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL(mmap_lock_relea > #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG > > /* > - * This is unfortunately complicated... _reg() and _unreg() may be called > - * in parallel, separately for each of our three event types.
