Linux kernel source tree

call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled. Its use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when multiple VMAs are being freed. Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without the use of call_rcu(). Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
