Subject: Lock the page
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 22:55:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <03E90795.17A1F592.0F45C3B8@netscape.net> (raw)

After getting a page from alloc_pages(mask, order), is it necessary to lock the page to prevent it from being swapped out? Can I assume that I already have exclusive access to the page? Can I assume that the page is free and no other kernel control paths would use it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
