From 5a505085f043e8380f83610f79642853c051e2f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2012 19:56:46 +0000 Subject: mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which will help in solving a page-migration scalability problem. (Addressed in a separate patch.) The conversion is simple and straightforward: in every case where we mutex_lock()ed we'll now down_write().
