What threw me off was that in lookup_tb_ptr we're not checking tb->invalid, and that biased me into thinking that it's not needed. But I should have tried harder. Also, that's a bug, and yet another reason to have tb_lookup, so that we fix these things at once in one place.
Yes, me as well. Quite right we need only one copy of this code.
(tb->flags & (CF_HASH_MASK | CF_INVALID)) == cf_mask So that we continue to check CF_INVALID each time we lookup a TB, but now we get it for free as a part of the other flags check.With the annoying atomic_read thrown in there :-) but yes, will do.
Yes of course. ;-) r~
