Message-Id: <20070921223247.DBC0013DCD@wotan.suse.de> Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2007 00:32:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Andi Kleen <ak@...e.de> To: jbeulich@...ell.com, patches@...-64.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] [47/50] i386: avoid temporarily inconsistent pte-s From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@...ell.com> One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases back): Other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding the old value.
