mm: madvise: use per_vma lock for MADV_FREE
MADV_FREE is another option, besides MADV_DONTNEED, for dynamic memory
freeing in user-space native or Java heap memory management. For example,
jemalloc can be configured to use MADV_FREE, and recent versions of the
Android Java heap have also increasingly adopted MADV_FREE. Supporting
per-VMA locking for MADV_FREE thus appears increasingly necessary.
We have replaced walk_page_range() with walk_page_range_vma(). Along with
the proposed madvise_lock_mode by Lorenzo, the necessary infrastructure is
now in place to begin exploring per-VMA locking support for MADV_FREE and
potentially other madvise using walk_page_range_vma().
This patch adds support for the PGWALK_VMA_RDLOCK walk_lock mode in
walk_page_range_vma(), and leverages madvise_lock_mode from madv_behavior
to select the appropriate walk_lock—either mmap_lock or per-VMA
lock—based on the context.
Because we now dynamically update the walk_ops->walk_lock field, we must
ensure this is thread-safe. The madvise_free_walk_ops is now defined as a
stack variable instead of a global constant.
