Hi Will,

Functionally this diff looks fine to me. A small comment inline, please 
see below.

I had made an alternative fix (after sending v1) and it looks much more 
concise.

If you're ok with it, I can send it as v2 (together with patch#2 and #3) 
after some tests.


Thanks,

Yanan

When old PTE is valid and equals to the new one, we will also perform 
break-before-make and the new PTE installation. But they're actually not 
necessary in this case.
