Subject: [PATCH 0/6] convert locked_vm from unsigned long to atomic64_t

Hi,

From patch 1:

  Taking and dropping mmap_sem to modify a single counter, locked_vm, is
  overkill when the counter could be synchronized separately.
  
  Make mmap_sem a little less coarse by changing locked_vm to an atomic,
  the 64-bit variety to avoid issues with overflow on 32-bit systems.

This is a more conservative alternative to [1] with no user-visible
effects.  Thanks to Alexey Kardashevskiy for pointing out the racy
atomics and to Alex Williamson, Christoph Lameter, Ira Weiny, and Jason
Gunthorpe for their comments on [1].

Davidlohr Bueso recently did a similar conversion for pinned_vm[2].

Testing
 1. passes LTP mlock[all], munlock[all], fork, mmap, and mremap tests in an
    x86 kvm guest
 2. a VFIO-enabled x86 kvm guest shows the same VmLck in
    /proc/pid/status before and after this change
 3. cross-compiles on powerpc

The series is based on v5.1-rc3.  Please consider for 5.2.

Daniel

Daniel Jordan (6):
  mm: change locked_vm's type from unsigned long to atomic64_t
  vfio/type1: drop mmap_sem now that locked_vm is atomic
  vfio/spapr_tce: drop mmap_sem now that locked_vm is atomic
  fpga/dlf/afu: drop mmap_sem now that locked_vm is atomic
  powerpc/mmu: drop mmap_sem now that locked_vm is atomic
  kvm/book3s: drop mmap_sem now that locked_vm is atomic
