Subject: [PATCH v2 09/33] mm: rcu safe VMA freeing

From: Suren Baghdasaryan <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 11:40:46 -0800

From: Michel Lespinasse <[email-masked]>

This prepares for page faults handling under VMA lock, looking up VMAs
under protection of an rcu read lock, instead of the usual mmap read lock.
