Subject: [PATCH v3 08/12] mm/gup: Cache *pudp in follow_pud_mask()
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2024 18:07:58 -0400
Message-ID: <20240321220802.679544-9-peterx@redhat.com>

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

Introduce "pud_t pud" in the function, so the code won't dereference *pudp
multiple time.  Not only because that looks less straightforward, but also
because if the dereference really happened, it's not clear whether there
can be race to see different *pudp values if it's being modified at the
same time.
