[patch 093/192] mm: hwpoison_user_mappings() try_to_unmap() with TTU_SYNC

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

 



From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: hwpoison_user_mappings() try_to_unmap() with TTU_SYNC

TTU_SYNC prevents an unlikely race, when try_to_unmap() returns shortly
before the page is accounted as unmapped.  It is unlikely to coincide with
hwpoisoning, but now that we have the flag, hwpoison_user_mappings() would
do well to use it.
