Here's some generic code: void *wr_memcpy(void *dst, void *src, unsigned int len) { wr_state_t wr_state; void *wr_poking_addr = __wr_addr(dst); local_irq_disable(); wr_enable(&wr_state); __wr_memcpy(wr_poking_addr, src, len); wr_disable(&wr_state); local_irq_enable(); return dst; } Now, x86 can define appropriate macros and functions to use the temporary_mm functionality, and other architectures can do what makes sense to them.
