On alpha it's racy if you set CONFIG_ALPHA_LARGE_VMALLOC y (so don't do that as you don't need it). As long as you use only 1 entry of the pgd for the whole vmalloc space (CONFIG_ALPHA_LARGE_VMALLOC n) alpha is safe. Its racy for all cases on the Alpha because the exception table fixes are

Do you know if anyone has fixed the lazy vmalloc code? I know of as of early 2.4 it was broken on alpha. At the time I noticed it I didn't have time to persue it, but before I forget to even put in a bug report I thought I'd ask if you know anything about it? Eric - To unsubscribe from this
