From 089ba999dc881a7549d97c55ac9e0052d061867d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:22:18 +0200 Subject: uprobes: Kill write_opcode()->lock_page(new_page) write_opcode() does lock_page(new_page) for no reason. Nobody can see this page until __replace_page() exposes it under ptl lock, and we do nothing with this page after pte_unmap_unlock(). If nothing else, the similar code in do_wp_page() doesn't lock the new page for page_add_new_anon_rmap/set_pte_at_notify.
