migration_entry_wait: Use the pte lock instead of the anon_vma lock.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use of the pte lock allows for much finer grained locking and avoids
the complexity coming with locking via the anon_vma. It will also
make the fetching of the pte value cleaner. Add a couple of other 
improvements as well.
