OK so the trick is that page is pinned so you don't expect
arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser below to fail.  get_user_pages_fast
guarantees page is not going away but does it guarantee PTE won't be
invaidated or write protected?


Good point, then I think we probably need to do manual fixup through fixup_user_fault() if arch_futex_atomic_op_in_user() fail.


This looks like a overkill, we don't need to atomic environment here actually. Instead, just keep pagefault enabled should work. So just introduce arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser_inatomic() variant with pagefault disabled there just for futex should be sufficient.

Thanks
