mm: Remove BUG_ON mmap_sem not held from xxx_trans_huge_lock()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The caller needs to make sure that the vma is not torn down during the
lock operation and can also use the i_mmap_rwsem for file-backed vmas.
Remove the BUG_ON. We could, as an alternative, add a test that either
vma->vm_mm->mmap_sem or vma->vm_file->f_mapping->i_mmap_rwsem are held.
