We already have that: All (hopefully?) the userspace accessors call might_fault(), and that does might_lock_read(¤t->mm->mmap_lock) (if we're not running in a lazytlb kernel thread or KERNEL_DS is on or we're in IRQ context or page faults have explicitly been disabled). But another place where lockdep asserts should be added is find_vma(); there are currently several architectures that sometimes improperly call that with no lock held: SPARC's arch_validate_prot(): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cag48ez3ysftfofka-po58e4pnp7fk54mfbkk3aupsrt3lwt...@mail.gmail.com/ nios2 sys_cacheflush(): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez3hxeXU29UGWRH-gRXX2jb5Lc==npbxft8udrwo4eh...@mail.gmail.com/ nds32 sys_cacheflush(): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez1UnQEMok9rqFQC4XHBaMmBe=eaedu8z_rxdjfhtna...@mail.gmail.com/
