No, mmap_read_lock() is fine. To remind, this was already discussed with you, see [PATCH 02/12] uprobes: grab write mmap lock in unapply_uprobe() https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240625002144.3485799-3-and...@kernel.org/ And you even reviewed this patch [PATCH 1/2] uprobes: document the usage of mm->mmap_lock https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240710140045.ga1...@redhat.com/ But, as the changelog explains, this patch is needed for the upcoming changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just in case... I'll try to read this series tomorrow, but at first glance this version addresses all my concerns. Oleg.
