- * We need separate register/unregister and mmap/munmap lock hashes because
- * of mmap_sem nesting.
- *
- * uprobe_register() needs to install probes on (potentially) all processes
- * and thus needs to acquire multiple mmap_sems (consequtively, not
- * concurrently), whereas uprobe_mmap() is called while holding mmap_sem
- * for the particular process doing the mmap.
- *
- * uprobe_register()->register_for_each_vma() needs to drop/acquire mmap_sem
- * because of lock order against i_mmap_mutex. This means there's a hole in
- * the register vma iteration where a mmap() can happen.
- *
- * Thus uprobe_register() can race with uprobe_mmap() and we can try and
- * install a probe where one is already installed.
