[patch 2/4] mmu_notifier: Callbacks to invalidate address ranges

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Fri Jan 25 2008 - 00:58:35 EST


The invalidation of address ranges in a mm_struct needs to be
performed when pages are removed or permissions etc change.

invalidate_range() is generally called with mmap_sem held but
no spinlocks are active.

Exceptions:

We hold i_mmap_lock in __unmap_hugepage_range and
sometimes in zap_page_range. Should we pass a parameter to indicate
the different lock situation?

Comments state that mmap_sem must be held for
remap_pfn_range() but various drivers do not seem to do this?
