Description

In 2023 we introduced per-VMA locks to solve contention and priority inversion on the mmap_lock for multithreaded programs. While successful, the initial implementation did not solve every case of contention and some workloads can still demonstrate problems. This session will discuss ways of fixing the remaining problems.
