When the TDP MMU is allowed to handle page faults in parallel there is the possiblity of a race where an SPTE is cleared and then imediately replaced with a present SPTE pointing to a different PFN, before the TLBs can be flushed. This race would violate architectural specs. Ensure that the TLBs are flushed properly before other threads are allowed to install any present value for the SPTE.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
