Ok.

Right, for -EEXIST I need a retry here, thanks.

Yes, it does. If somebody else won the race that page was dropped from the direct map and this call would be essentially a nop. And anyway, the very next patch changes the way pages are removed from the direct map ;-)

+ addr = (unsigned long)page_address(page); + flush_tlb_kernel_range(addr, addr + PAGE_SIZE); + + __SetPageUptodate(page);Once you've added it to the cache, somebody else can come along and try to lock it. They will set PageWaiter. Now you call __SetPageUptodate and wipe out their PageWaiter bit. So you won't wake them up when you unlock. You can call __SetPageUptodate before adding it to the page cache, but once it's visible to another thread, you can't do that.
Will fix.
