Hi Mark,

In your patch it said "The presence of conflicting TLB entries may result in
a variety of behaviours detrimental to the system " and "but this(break-before-make
approach) cannot work for modifications to the swapper page tables that cover the
kernel text and data."

I'm not quite understand this, why the direct mapping can't work?
flush tlb can't resolve it?

I find x86 does not have this limit. e.g. set_memory_r*.

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
