The idea is to avoid or atleast minimize TLB/cache flushes triggered from these sort of 'static' tests. set_pte_at() is platform provided and could/might trigger these flushes or some other platform specific synchronization stuff. Just wondering is there specific reason with respect to the soft lock up problem making it necessary to use set_pte_at() rather than a simple WRITE_ONCE() ? > + barrier(); > pte_clear(mm, vaddr, ptep); > pte = READ_ONCE(*ptep); > WARN_ON(!pte_none(pte)); > _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
