ptep_test_and_clear_young() i386 vs. x86_64

Hi All!

Is there any special reason why ptep_test_and_clear_young()
implementation for x86_64 does not call pte_update()?

Compare the following:

include/asm-x86_64/pgtable.h:

static inline int ptep_test_and_clear_young(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr, pte_t *ptep)

{
       if (!pte_young(*ptep))
              return 0;
       return test_and_clear_bit(_PAGE_BIT_ACCESSED, &ptep->pte);

}

include/asm-i386/pgtable.h:

#define ptep_test_and_clear_young(vma, addr, ptep) ({                   \
       int __ret = 0;                                                  \
       if (pte_young(*(ptep)))                                         \
               __ret = test_and_clear_bit(_PAGE_BIT_ACCESSED,          \
                                               &(ptep)->pte_low);       \
       if (__ret)                                                      \

pte_update((vma)->vm_mm, addr, ptep); \

       __ret;                                                          \

})
