Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: PPC: Use ACCESS_ONCE when dereferencing pte_t pointer
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 16:38:05 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427281687-11089-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
pte can get updated from other CPUs as part of multiple activities
like THP split, huge page collapse, unmap. We need to make sure we
don't reload the pte value again and again for different checks.
