From 6e399cd144d8500ffb5d40fa6848890e2580a80a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:47:59 -0700 Subject: prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file serialization Oleg cleverly suggested using xchg() to set the new mm->exe_file instead of calling set_mm_exe_file() which requires some form of serialization -- mmap_sem in this case. For archs that do not have atomic rmw instructions we still fallback to a spinlock alternative, so this should always be safe. As such, we only need the mmap_sem for looking up the backing vm_file, which can be done sharing the lock. Naturally, this means we need to manually deal with both the new and old file reference counting, and we need not worry about the MMF_EXE_FILE_CHANGED bits, which can probably be deleted in the future anyway.
