Correct.

Sorry, I did not reply to the mail thread with more context.

I would like to remove the READ_ONCE calls and move the patch forward.  It
does address a real issue you are seeing.

To be honest, I am more worried about the races in lookup_address_in_pgd()
than using or not using READ_ONCE for  pgd/p4d in this patch.

I have not looked closely at the generated code for lookup_address_in_pgd.
It appears that it would dereference p4d, pud and pmd multiple times.  Sean
seemed to think there was something about the calling context that would
make issues like those seen with huge_pte_offset less likely to happen.  I
do not know if this is accurate or not.

Let's remove the two READ_ONCE calls and move this patch forward.  We can
look closer at lookup_address_in_pgd and generate another patch if that needs
to be fixed as well.

Thanks
