Increments and loads to mmap_changing are always in mmap_lock critical section. This ensures that if userspace requests event notification for non-cooperative operations (e.g. mremap), userfaultfd operations don't occur concurrently. This can be achieved by using a separate read-write semaphore in userfaultfd_ctx such that increments are done in write-mode and loads in read-mode, thereby eliminating the dependency on mmap_lock for this purpose. This is a preparatory step before we replace mmap_lock usage with per-vma locks in fill/move ioctls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
