Hi Ben, Is it worth formally sending in either of my patches or does more work need to be done first?
Sorry, I've been busy with other things... What do other thing about it ? Having update_mmu_cache() call buried inside the ptep_set_access_flags() sounds good ? Somebody has a better idea ? One thing I was thinking was that we could replace the whole logic with having ptep_set_access_flags() compare the new PTE bits with what was already there and return wether an update_mmu_cache() is required....
