[RFC PATCH v2 3/7] mm: Introduce pte_spinlock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is needed because in handle_pte_fault() pte_offset_map() called
and then fe->ptl is fetched and spin_locked.

This was previously embedded in the call to pte_offset_map_lock().
