From a18cc179a7fdb18d15ac174f5d1f3816e34174df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 13:38:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ioctl_userfaultfd.2: Drop some unneeded text From a conversation with Mike Rapoport: What does "consistent" mean? Actually, I though I've copied this text from Andrea's docs, but now I've found out it was my wording and I really don't remember now what was my intention for "consistent" :) My guess is that I was thinking about atomicity of UFFDIO_COPY, or the fact that from the faulting thread perspective the page fault handling is the same whether it's done in kernel or via userfaultfd... That said, maybe it'd be better just to drop "in a consistent way".
