KERNEL_PT_LOCK

Static KERNEL_PT_LOCK

static KERNEL_PT_LOCK: SpinLock<()>
Expand description

Serializes mutations of the canonical kernel page tables.

The active-CR3 mapping helpers are still caller-synchronized by their own higher-level address-space locks, but kernel-global mappings such as vmalloc must not race while allocating or wiring intermediate page-table levels.
