Also the lock was taken higher up in the stack in some code path. That would result in deadlock. unmap_mapping_range (i_mmap_mutex) -> unmap_mapping_range_tree -> unmap_mapping_range_vma -> zap_page_range_single -> unmap_single_vma -> unmap_hugepage_range (i_mmap_mutex) For shared pagetable support for huge pages, since pagetable pages are ref counted we don't need any lock during huge_pmd_unshare. We do take i_mmap_mutex in huge_pmd_share while walking the vma_prio_tree in mapping. (39dde65c9940c97f ("shared page table for hugetlb page")).
