Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 12/12] mm: change the contract for free_pgtables(), update docs
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 12:50:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908125055.3DCF61F00A3D@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-rcu-pagetable-freeing-v2-12-1f60b64e878e@kernel.org>
> Now that page tables are freed after an RCU grace period, it is safe for

> concurrently torn down, provided the mm is kept alive via mmgrab().
>
> It is however unsafe for writers to do so, as they must obtain an

> Update the pte_offset_map_lock()'s comment block to reflect this.
