21 * With get_user_pages_fast, we walk down the pagetables without taking
22 * any locks. For this we would like to load the pointers atomically,
23 * but that is not possible (without expensive cmpxchg8b) on PAE. What
24 * we do have is the guarantee that a pte will only either go from not
25 * present to present, or present to not present or both -- it will not
26 * switch to a completely different present page without a TLB flush in
27 * between; something that we are blocking by holding interrupts off.
29 * Setting ptes from not present to present goes:
34 * And present to not present goes:
39 * We must ensure here that the load of pte_low sees l iff pte_high
40 * sees h. We load pte_high *after* loading pte_low, which ensures we
41 * don't see an older value of pte_high. *Then* we recheck pte_low,
42 * which ensures that we haven't picked up a changed pte high. We might
43 * have got rubbish values from pte_low and pte_high, but we are
44 * guaranteed that pte_low will not have the present bit set *unless*
45 * it is 'l'. And get_user_pages_fast only operates on present ptes, so
48 * gup_get_pte should not be used or copied outside gup.c without being
49 * very careful -- it does not atomically load the pte or anything that
50 * is likely to be useful for you.
