Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: proc: smaps_rollup: do not stall write attempts on mmap_lock
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 12:42:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1597120955-16495-3-git-send-email-chinwen.chang@mediatek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1597120955-16495-1-git-send-email-chinwen.chang@mediatek.com>
smaps_rollup will try to grab mmap_lock and go through the whole vma
list until it finishes the iterating. When encountering large processes,
the mmap_lock will be held for a longer time, which may block other
write requests like mmap and munmap from progressing smoothly.
There are upcoming mmap_lock optimizations like range-based locks, but
the lock applied to smaps_rollup would be the coarse type, which doesn't
avoid the occurrence of unpleasant contention.
To solve aforementioned issue, we add a check which detects whether
anyone wants to grab mmap_lock for write attempts.
