Why? I think people are used to spin_lock(lock) sequence spin_unlock(lock) So its easy to verify whether access to data structures are protected. Unrelated to this patch, one opportunity i see to simplify this code is: - error pfn / mmio pfn / invalid pfn relation Have the meaning of this bits unified in a single function/helper, see comment to patch 1 (perhaps you can further improve). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
