    mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail · 108d6642

    mremap() had a clever optimization where move_ptes() did not take the
    anon_vma lock to avoid a race with anon rmap users such as page migration.
     Instead, the avc's were ordered in such a way that the origin vma was
    always visited by rmap before the destination.  This ordering and the use
    of page table locks rmap usage safe.  However, we want to replace the use
    of linked lists in anon rmap with an interval tree, and this will make it
    harder to impose such ordering as the interval tree will always be sorted
    by the avc->vma->vm_pgoff value.  For now, let's replace the
    anon_vma_moveto_tail() ordering function with proper anon_vma locking in
    move_ptes().  Once we have the anon interval tree in place, we will
    re-introduce an optimization to avoid taking these locks in the most
    common cases.
