[PATCH 3/5] mm: convert i_mmap_mutex to rwsem

Davidlohr Bueso
2014-05-23T03:33:46Z

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock,
both protecting similar data, one for file backed pages
and the other for anon memory. To this end, this lock can
also be a rwsem.

This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take
the write lock.
