[PATCH v4 0/3] execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Fri Aug 08 2025 - 11:29:03 EST


With /proc/pid/maps now being read under per-vma lock protection we can
reuse parts of that code to execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl also without
taking mmap_lock. The change is designed to reduce mmap_lock contention
and prevent PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl calls from blocking address space updates.

This patchset was split out of the original patchset [1] that introduced
per-vma lock usage for /proc/pid/maps reading. It contains PROCMAP_QUERY
tests, code refactoring patch to simplify the main change and the actual
transition to per-vma lock.

Changes since v3 [2]
- change lock_vma_range()/unlock_vma_range() parameters,
per Lorenzo Stoakes
- minimize priv->lock_ctx dereferences by storing it in a local variable,
per Lorenzo Stoakes
- rename unlock_vma to unlock_ctx_vma, per Lorenzo Stoakes
- factored out reset_lock_ctx(), per Lorenzo Stoakes
- reset lock_ctx->mmap_locked inside query_vma_teardown(),
per Lorenzo Stoakes
- add clarifying comments in query_vma_find_by_addr() and
procfs_procmap_ioctl(), per Lorenzo Stoakes
- refactored error handling code inside query_vma_find_by_addr(),
per Lorenzo Stoakes
- add Acked-by as changes were cosmetic, per SeongJae Park
