These patches implement Linus's idea of always locking the root anon_vma and contain all the fixes and improvements suggested by Andrea. This should fix the last bits of the anon_vma locking. v3 is identical to v2, except I gathered up the Acked-by:s that were on list already. Patches 4 and 5 still need some reviewing and acks... -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
