Subject: [PATCH] binder: reduce mmap_sem write-side lock
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 17:11:45 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190218081145.86633-1-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)

binder has used write-side mmap_sem semaphore to release memory
mapped at address space of the process. However, right lock to
release pages is down_read, not down_write because page table lock
already protects the race for parallel freeing.

Please do not use mmap_sem write-side lock which is well known
contented lock.
