From 2bd50036b5dfc929390ddc48be7f6314447b2be3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 10:54:10 -0700 Subject: xen: allow set_pte_at on init_mm to be lockless The usual pagetable locking protocol doesn't seem to apply to updates to init_mm, so don't rely on preemption being disabled in xen_set_pte_at on init_mm.
