[PATCH -v2 4/5] always lock the root (oldest) anon_vma
> Looking at the if condition, brk() would appear to be the most important case, right? This would appear to correlate with the reasoning behind that condition in the first place in commit 252c5f94d944487e9f50ece7942b0fbf659c5c31 where sbrk contended on the lock heavily. You are right.
