From 965f55dea0e331152fa53941a51e4e16f9f06fae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Tue, 24 May 2011 17:11:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mmap: avoid merging cloned VMAs Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process. The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA. If we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock. This introduces scalability issues. find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this case.
