Subject: [PATCH 5/9] x86, mpx: Add temporary variable to reduce masking
Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2015 13:31:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150202213134.4D6AAF82@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150202213127.0171DBC1@viggo.jf.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
When we allocate a bounds table, we call mmap(), then add a
"valid" bit to the value before storing it in to the bounds
directory.
If we fail along the way, we go and mask that valid bit
_back_ out. That seems a little silly, and this makes it
much more clear when we have a plain address versus an
actual table _entry_.
