I wondered about slot reuse during the RCU wait, but that can't happen :) The slot stays marked busy until free_pointer_table() runs after RCU, and the last free unlinks the page under ptable_lock. Also ran page-table teardown stress and fork/exec churn on qemu-system-m68k (virt, m68040, CONFIG_MMU_MOTOROLA=y). All 40 rounds ran cleanly :D Acked-by: Lance Yang <[email protected]> Tested-by: Lance Yang <[email protected]>
