    arch/tile: fix up locking in pgtable.c slightly · 719ea79e
    Chris Metcalf 提交于
    We should be holding the init_mm.page_table_lock in shatter_huge_page()
    since we are modifying the kernel page tables.  Then, only if we are
    walking the other root page tables to update them, do we want to take
    the pgd_lock.
    
    Add a comment about taking the pgd_lock that we always do it with
    interrupts disabled and therefore are not at risk from the tlbflush
    IPI deadlock as is seen on x86.
