Ok I looked at the mmu notifier locking again and noticed that mm->subscriptions has its own spinlock. Since there usually shouldn't be a huge pile of these I think it's feasible to check for the mmu notifier in follow_pfn. And that would stuff this gap for good. I'll throw that on top as a final patch and see what people think. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
