Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking. The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot (lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock. This is safe as the writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot. It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down without guard VMAs. syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA to grow and consume the empty space. Overwriting the entire NULL entry causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not match the maple state they are using. Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and will return the expected result.
