Subject: [RESEND PATCH 1/3] uprobes: Remove redundant lock_page/unlock_page
Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2012 14:49:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120601091950.GF24279@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1338483372.28384.65.camel@twins>
From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Since read_opcode() reads from the referenced page and doesnt modify
the page contents nor the page attributes, there is no need to lock
the page.
