Patch series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". We have a 3x throughput improvement reported by Intel's kernel test robot: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202404261055.c5e24608-oliver.sang@intel.com/ This is from delaying taking the mmap_lock for page faults until we actually need the mmap_lock in order to assign an anon_vma to the vma. It cleans up the page fault path a little by making the anon fault handler more similar to the file fault handler. This patch (of 4): Convert the comment into an assertion.

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 reStructuredText 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.
