The only two fields that are used in the fault routine are rp->b_vec and rp->b_size. They are protected by the mutex rp->fetch_lock. I don't see anything else can spill into these fields by dirtying adjacent words in memory, either.... except this: case MON_IOCQ_RING_SIZE: ret = rp->b_size; break; In the old days, this was safe, but who knows what CPUs do today. It needs the same mutex taken around the read-only reference too.
