Peter Anvin" , Linus Torvalds , Oleg Nesterov , Waiman Long , Thomas Gleixner The vmalloc() code uses vmalloc_sync_all() to synchronize changes to the global reference kernel PGD to task PGDs in certain rare cases, like register_die_notifier(). This use seems to be somewhat questionable, as most other vmalloc page table fixups are vmalloc_fault() driven, but nevertheless it's there and it's using the pgd_list. But we don't need the global list, as we can walk the task list under RCU. Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
