I guess that makes sense as the split could go either way at the moment but I should add a check to make sure this isn't used with pinned pages anyway.Is it possible to have a pinned page under one of these things? If I pin it before you migrate it then it remains pinned but hidden under the swap entry?At the moment yes. But I had planned (and this reminded me) to add a check to prevent marking pinned pages for exclusive access.
How do you even do that without races with GUP fast? Jason
