Subject: [PATCH 12/21] mm: arches skip ptlock
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 01:59:24 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0510130156280.4060@goblin.wat.veritas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0510130143240.4060@goblin.wat.veritas.com>
Convert those few architectures which are calling pud_alloc, pmd_alloc,
pte_alloc_map on a user mm, not to take the page_table_lock first, nor
drop it after. Each of these can continue to use pte_alloc_map, no need
to change over to pte_alloc_map_lock, they're neither racy nor swappable.
In the sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range, flush_tlb_range then falls outside of
the page_table_lock: that's okay, on sparc64 it's like flush_tlb_mm, and
that has always been called from outside of page_table_lock in dup_mmap.
