From 85a06835f6f1ba79f0f00838ccd5ad840dd1eafb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yang Shi Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 15:08:50 -0700 Subject: mm: mremap: downgrade mmap_sem to read when shrinking Other than munmap, mremap might be used to shrink memory mapping too. So, it may hold write mmap_sem for long time when shrinking large mapping, as what commit ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap") described. The mremap() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for the mapping shrink use case, so it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem. So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case. The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping would be reduced significantly with this optimization. MREMAP_FIXED and MREMAP_MAYMOVE are more complicated to adopt this optimization since they need manipulate vmas after do_munmap(), downgrading mmap_sem may create race window. Simple mapping shrink is the low hanging fruit, and it may cover the most cases of unmap with munmap together.
