Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MIPS/c-r4k: do no use mmap_sem for gup_fast()
Date: Wed,  6 Feb 2019 21:37:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190207053740.26915-3-dave@stgolabs.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190207053740.26915-1-dave@stgolabs.net>

It is well known that because the mm can internally
call the regular gup_unlocked if the lockless approach
fails and take the sem there, the caller must not hold
the mmap_sem already.
