From 22c3653d04bd0c67b75e99d85e0c0bdf83947df5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maor Gottlieb Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 06:03:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] IB/mlx4: Take write semaphore when changing the vma struct When the driver disassociate user context, it changes the vma to anonymous by setting the vm_ops to null and zap the vma ptes. In order to avoid race in the kernel, we need to take write lock before we change the vma entries.
