From 6bdb913f0a70a4dfb7f066fb15e2d6f960701d00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haggai Eran Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:33:35 -0700 Subject: mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock. In addition to its direct calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte. This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end calls. Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise they might miss a later invalidation.
