Subject: [Patch v2 1/2] mm/rmap.c: don't reuse anon_vma if we just want a copy
Date:   Thu, 10 Oct 2019 21:58:24 +0800
Message-Id: <20191010135825.28153-1-richardw.yang@linux.intel.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Before commit 7a3ef208e662 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma
hierarchy"), anon_vma_clone() doesn't change dst->anon_vma. While after
this commit, anon_vma_clone() will try to reuse an exist one on forking.

But this commit go a little bit further for the case not forking.
anon_vma_clone() is called from __vma_split(), __split_vma(), copy_vma()
and anon_vma_fork(). For the first three places, the purpose here is get
a copy of src and we don't expect to touch dst->anon_vma even it is
NULL. While after that commit, it is possible to reuse an anon_vma when
dst->anon_vma is NULL. This is not we intend to have.

This patch stop reuse anon_vma for non-fork cases.

Fix commit 7a3ef208e662 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma
hierarchy")
