In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence due to compiler transformations. Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE /WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former (as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).
