Subject: [RFC 2/2] page-flags: Catch the double setter of page flags
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2019 12:53:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190211125337.16099-3-chintan.pandya@oneplus.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190211125337.16099-1-chintan.pandya@oneplus.com>
Some of the page flags, like PG_locked is not supposed to
be set twice. Currently, there is no protection around this
and many callers directly tries to set this bit. Others
follow trylock_page() which is much safer version of the
same. But, for performance issues, we may not want to
implement wait-until-set. So, at least, find out who is
doing double setting and fix them.
