+ * These functions are for numa_maps but called in generic **maps seq_file
+ * ->start(), ->stop() ops.
+ *
+ * numa_maps scans all vmas under mmap_sem and checks their mempolicy.
+ * Each mempolicy object is controlled by reference counting. The problem here
+ * is how to avoid accessing dead mempolicy object.
+ *
+ * Because we're holding mmap_sem while reading seq_file, it's safe to access
+ * each vma's mempolicy, no vma objects will never drop refs to mempolicy.
+ *
+ * A task's mempolicy (task->mempolicy) has different behavior. task->mempolicy
+ * is set and replaced under mmap_sem but unrefed and cleared under task_lock().
+ * So, without task_lock(), we cannot trust get_vma_policy() because we cannot
+ * gurantee the task never exits under us. But taking task_lock() around
+ * get_vma_plicy() causes lock order problem.
+ *
+ * To access task->mempolicy without lock, we hold a reference count of an
+ * object pointed by task->mempolicy and remember it. This will guarantee
+ * that task->mempolicy points to an alive object or NULL in numa_maps accesses.
