    Subject[PATCH -V6 05/14] hugetlb: Avoid taking i_mmap_mutex in unmap_single_vma for hugetlb
    Date
    From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    i_mmap_mutex lock was added in unmap_single_vma by 502717f4e112b18d9c37753a32f675bec9f2838b
    But we don't use page->lru in unmap_hugepage_range any more. Also the lock was
    taken higher up in the stack in some code path. That would result in deadlock.

    unmap_mapping_range (i_mmap_mutex)
    -> unmap_mapping_range_tree
    -> unmap_mapping_range_vma
    -> zap_page_range_single
    -> unmap_single_vma
    -> unmap_hugepage_range (i_mmap_mutex)

    For shared pagetable support for huge pages, since pagetable pages are
    ref counted we don't need any lock during huge_pmd_unshare. We do take
    i_mmap_mutex in huge_pmd_share while walking the vma_prio_tree in mapping.
