to make it clear.. I am trying to access user-space memory from kernel.
This needs to be atomic (its an implementation of linux futexes)
I need to check from kernel if some memory is accessible and then perform an
operation on this memory. All atomically.
hence I need two things - function which checks wheter the memory is accessible
and something which makes it atomic (some mutex/something which prevents other
process to enter VM to unmap/etc. the memory in question)
hope its a bit more clear now
