If we are already in the desired write domain of a set-domain ioctl, then there is nothing for us to do and we can quickly return back to userspace, avoiding any lock contention. By recognising that the write_domain is always a subset of the read_domains, and excluding the no-op case of requiring 0 read_domains in the ioctl, we can infer if the current write_domain matches the target read_domains, there is nothing for us to do. Secondary aspect of this is that we undo the arbitrary fetching and potential flushing of all pages for a set-domain(.write=CPU) call on a fresh object -- which was introduced simply because we do the get-pages before taking the struct_mutex.

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.
