Subject: [RFC PATCH RESEND 10/28] mm/mmap: mark VMAs as locked in vma_adjust

vma_adjust modifies a VMA and possibly its neighbors. Mark them as locked
before making the modifications.

I was wondering if the VMAs insert and expand should be locked too.

For expand, I can't see any valid reason, but for insert, I'm puzzled.
I would think that it is better to lock the VMA to be inserted but I can't
really justify that.

It may be nice to detail why this is not need to lock insert and expand here.

'expand' is always locked before it's passed to __vma_adjust() by
vma_merge(). It has to be locked before we decide "Can it merge with
the predecessor?" here
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/mm/mmap.c#L1201 because
a change in VMA can affect that decision. I spent many hours tracking
the issue caused by not locking the VMA before making this decision.
It might be good to add a comment about this...

AFAIKT 'insert' is only used by __split_vma() and it's always a brand
new VMA which is not yet linked into mm->mmap. Any reason
__vma_adjust() should lock it?

No, I think that's good this way.
