272 * Some rmap walk that needs to find all ptes/hugepmds without false
273 * negatives (like migrate and split_huge_page) running concurrent
274 * with operations that copy or move pagetables (like mremap() and
275 * fork()) to be safe. They depend on the anon_vma "same_anon_vma"
276 * list to be in a certain order: the dst_vma must be placed after the
277 * src_vma in the list. This is always guaranteed by fork() but
278 * mremap() needs to call this function to enforce it in case the
279 * dst_vma isn't newly allocated and chained with the anon_vma_clone()
280 * function but just an extension of a pre-existing vma through
281 * vma_merge.
282 *
283 * NOTE: the same_anon_vma list can still be changed by other
284 * processes while mremap runs because mremap doesn't hold the
285 * anon_vma mutex to prevent modifications to the list while it
286 * runs. All we need to enforce is that the relative order of this
287 * process vmas isn't changing (we don't care about other vmas
288 * order). Each vma corresponds to an anon_vma_chain structure so
289 * there's no risk that other processes calling anon_vma_moveto_tail()
290 * and changing the same_anon_vma list under mremap() will screw with
291 * the relative order of this process vmas in the list, because we
292 * they can't alter the order of any vma that belongs to this
293 * process. And there can't be another anon_vma_moveto_tail() running
294 * concurrently with mremap() coming from this process because we hold
295 * the mmap_sem for the whole mremap(). fork() ordering dependency
296 * also shouldn't be affected because fork() only cares that the
297 * parent vmas are placed in the list before the child vmas and
298 * anon_vma_moveto_tail() won't reorder vmas from either the fork()
299 * parent or child.
