[RFC][PATCH 1/4] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Oct 19 2006 - 06:26:21 EST


In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've
gone through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the
inc_preempt_count() 'feature' works as expected.

Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user) rely
on the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt count.

arch/x86_64 - good
arch/powerpc - good
arch/cris - fixed
arch/i386 - good
arch/parisc - fixed
arch/sh - good
arch/sparc - good
arch/s390 - good
arch/m68k - fixed
arch/ppc - good
arch/alpha - fixed
arch/mips - good
arch/sparc64 - good
arch/ia64 - good
arch/arm - fixed
arch/um - NA
arch/avr32 - good
arch/h8300 - NA
arch/m32r - good
arch/v850 - good
arch/frv - fixed
arch/m68knommu - NA
arch/arm26 - fixed
arch/sh64 - fixed
arch/xtensa - good
