Subject: [PATCH v1 15/15] uaccess: decouple preemption from the pagefault logic
Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 17:52:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431359540-32227-16-git-send-email-dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1431359540-32227-1-git-send-email-dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
As the fault handlers now all rely on the pagefault_disabled() checks
and implicit preempt_disable() calls by pagefault_disable() have been
made explicit, we can completely rely on the pagefault_disableD counter.
So let's no longer touch the preempt count when disabling/enabling
pagefaults. After a call to pagefault_disable(), pagefault_disabled()
will return true, but in_atomic() won't.
