From 01edcd891c3e9f4bb992ff2ceb69836bf76f8ddf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 13:37:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: powerpc ptlock comments Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc. Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.
