This includes coping vm_area_struct::shared.rb which is normally protected by i_mmap_lock. But this is fine because the read value will be overwritten on the following __vma_link_file() under proper protection. Thus, mark it as an intentional data race and insert a few assertions for the fields that should not be modified concurrently. Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
