21 * This function can't run concurrently against mmu_notifier_register
22 * because mm->mm_users > 0 during mmu_notifier_register and exit_mmap
23 * runs with mm_users == 0. Other tasks may still invoke mmu notifiers
24 * in parallel despite there being no task using this mm any more,
25 * through the vmas outside of the exit_mmap context, such as with
26 * vmtruncate. This serializes against mmu_notifier_unregister with
27 * the mmu_notifier_mm->lock in addition to RCU and it serializes
28 * against the other mmu notifiers with RCU. struct mmu_notifier_mm
29 * can't go away from under us as exit_mmap holds an mm_count pin
30 * itself.
