Johannes Weiner 4805b02e90 mm/mlock.c: document scary-looking stack expansion mlock chain ... The fact that mlock calls get_user_pages, and get_user_pages might call mlock when expanding a stack looks like a potential recursion. However, mlock makes sure the requested range is already contained within a vma, so no stack expansion will actually happen from mlock. Should this ever change: the stack expansion mlocks only the newly expanded range and so will not result in recursive expansion.
