Currently, the binder driver always uses the mmap lock to make changes to its vma. Because the mmap lock is global to the process, this can involve significant contention. However, the kernel has a feature called per-vma locks, which can significantly reduce contention. For example, you can take a vma lock in parallel with an mmap write lock. This is important because contention on the mmap lock has been a long-term recurring challenge for the Binder driver. This patch introduces support for using `lock_vma_under_rcu` from Rust. The Rust Binder driver will be able to use this to reduce contention on the mmap lock.
