Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] uprobes: kill write_opcode()->lock_page(new_page)
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:00:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120624150035.GC23277@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120624145936.GA23269@redhat.com>

write_opcode() does lock_page(new_page) for no reason. Nobody can
see this page until __replace_page() exposes it under ptl lock, and
we do nothing with this page after pte_unmap_unlock().

If nothing else, the similar code in do_wp_page() doesn't lock the
new page for page_add_new_anon_rmap/set_pte_at_notify.
