    [PATCH] mm: i386 sh sh64 ready for split ptlock · 60ec5585
    Hugh Dickins authored
    Use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map (or inappropriate
    pte_offset_kernel) and mm-wide page_table_lock, in sundry arch places.
    
    The i386 vm86 mark_screen_rdonly: yes, there was and is an assumption that the
    screen fits inside the one page table, as indeed it does.
    
    The sh __do_page_fault: which handles both kernel faults (without lock) and
    user mm faults (locked - though it set_pte without locking before).
    
    The sh64 flush_cache_range and helpers: which wrongly thought callers held
    page_table_lock before (only its tlb_start_vma did, and no longer does so);
    moved the flush loop down, and adjusted the large versus small range decision
    to consider a range which spans page tables as large.
