Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2018 11:46:29 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3b06c670786936f1fa184dffb815824b10c6e761.1543405086.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1543405086.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

There is no point in taking the page table lock as pte_frag or
pmd_frag are always NULL when we have only one fragment.
