hmm pud-entry callback locking?

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

 



Hi, Jerome,

I was asked by Kirill to try to unify the pagewalk pud_entry and pmd_entry callbacks. The only user of the pagewalk pud-entry is currently hmm.

But the pagewalk code call pud_entry only for huge puds with the page-table lock held, whereas the hmm callback appears to assume it gets called unconditionally without the page-table lock held?

Could you shed some light into this?

Thanks,
Thomas
