      mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk · 49b06385
      Suren Baghdasaryan authored
      walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. 
      With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
      such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas.  Add an
      additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
      walk.
      
      The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
      by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
      per-vma locks.  With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
      lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
      not stop them.  The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
      walks.
      
      A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
      to queue pages for migration.  Without this change a concurrent page
      can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.
