When multiple locks are acquired, they should be released in reverse
order. For s_start() and s_stop() in mm/vmalloc.c, that is not the
case.
s_start: mutex_lock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock);
s_stop : mutex_unlock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_unlock(&vmap_area_lock);
This unlock sequence, though allowed, is not optimal. If a waiter is
present, mutex_unlock() will need to go through the slowpath of waking
up the waiter with preemption disabled. Fix that by releasing the
spinlock first before the mutex.

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.
