[PATCH v3 14/35] mm/mmap: move VMA locking before vma_adjust_trans_huge call

From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com>
Date: 2023-02-16 05:19:42
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory mapping, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

vma_adjust_trans_huge() modifies the VMA and such modifications should
be done after VMA is marked as being written. Therefore move VMA flag
modifications before vma_adjust_trans_huge() so that VMA is marked
before all these modifications.
