Hmm. But how we can ensure?

This schedules the i/o,

This finds/locks the page in the page-cache,

What if this page is not PageUptodate() ?

Somehow this assumes that the i/o was already completed, I don't
understand this.

But I am starting to think I simply do not understand this change.
To the point, I do not underestand why do we need copy_insn() at all.
We are going to replace this page, can't we save/analyze ->insn later
when we copy the content of the old page? Most probably I missed
something simple...

Hmm. Do we really need task_struct?

But this should not be possible, no? How it can map this vaddr above
TASK_SIZE ?

get_user_pages(tsk => NULL) is fine. Why else do we need mm->owner ?

Probably used by the next patches... Say, is_32bit_app(tsk). This
can use mm->context.ia32_compat (hopefully will be replaced with
MMF_COMPAT).

Oleg.
