Subject: [PATCH v8 04/20] powerpc/mm: Avoid useless lock with single page fragments
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2018 08:10:11 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6acfdaf9ca44737cfd0dfec8fc9157e5838f7ce9.1543478200.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1543478199.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.
