brk might be used to shrink memory mapping too other than munmap(). So,
it may hold write mmap_sem for long time when shrinking large mapping, as
what commit ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")
described.
The brk() will not manipulate vmas anymore after __do_munmap() call for
the mapping shrink use case. But, it may set mm->brk after __do_munmap(),
which needs hold write mmap_sem.
However, a simple trick can workaround this by setting mm->brk before
__do_munmap(). Then restore the original value if __do_munmap() fails.
With this trick, it is safe to downgrade to read mmap_sem.
So, the same optimization, which downgrades mmap_sem to read for zapping
pages, is also feasible and reasonable to this case.
The period of holding exclusive mmap_sem for shrinking large mapping would
be reduced significantly with this optimization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
