[PATCH] mm: pretest pte_young and pte_dirty
Test for pte_young before going to the costlier atomic test_and_clear, as asm-generic does. Test for pte_dirty before going to the costlier atomic test_and_clear, as asm-generic does (I said before that I would not do so for pte_dirty, but was missing the point: there is nothing atomic about deciding to do nothing). But I've not touched the rather different ppc and ppc64. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
