[QUESTION] Plain dereference and READ_ONCE() in fault handler

[Dev Jain <dev.jain@arm.com>]

In __handle_mm_fault(),

1. Why is there a barrier() for the PUD logic?
2. For the PMD logic, in the if block, we use *vmf.pmd, and in the else block
   we use pmdp_get_lockless(); what if someone changes the pmd just when we
   have begun processing the conditions in the if block, fail in the if block
   and then the else block operates on a different pmd value. Shouldn't we cache
   the value of the pmd and operate on a single consistent value until we take the
   lock and then finally check using pxd_same() and friends?

Thanks,
Dev
