[PATCH v4 3/3] userfaultfd: use per-vma locks in userfaultfd operations

From: Lokesh Gidra
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 16:25:00 EST


All userfaultfd operations, except write-protect, opportunistically use
per-vma locks to lock vmas. On failure, attempt again inside mmap_lock
critical section.

Write-protect operation requires mmap_lock as it iterates over multiple
vmas.
