MAINTAINERS: add section for locking of mm's and VMAs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We place this under memory mapping as related to memory mapping
abstractions in the form of mm_struct and vm_area_struct (VMA).  Now we
have separated out mmap/vma locking logic into the mmap_lock.c and
mmap_lock.h files, so this should encapsulate the majority of the mm
locking logic in the kernel.

Suren is best placed to maintain this logic as the core architect of VMA
locking as a whole.
