Subject: mm/memory.c: use entry = ACCESS_ONCE(*pte) in handle_pte_fault()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e3c65bb08af39a77ab05a0afa315182210aa09a;p=karo-tx-linux.git

mm/memory.c: use entry = ACCESS_ONCE(*pte) in handle_pte_fault()

Use ACCESS_ONCE() in handle_pte_fault() when getting the entry or orig_pte
upon which all subsequent decisions and pte_same() tests will be made.

I have no evidence that its lack is responsible for the mm/filemap.c:202
BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache() found by trinity,
and I am not optimistic that it will fix it.  But I have found no other
explanation, and ACCESS_ONCE() here will surely not hurt.

If gcc does re-access the pte before passing it down, then that would be
disastrous for correct page fault handling, and certainly could explain
the page_mapped() BUGs seen (concurrent fault causing page to be mapped in
a second time on top of itself: mapcount 2 for a single pte).
