- /* When running in the kernel we expect faults to occur only to
- * addresses in user space. All other faults represent errors in the
- * kernel and should generate an OOPS. Unfortunatly, in the case of an
- * erroneous fault occuring in a code path which already holds mmap_sem
- * we will deadlock attempting to validate the fault against the
- * address space. Luckily the kernel only validly references user
- * space from well defined areas of code, which are listed in the
- * exceptions table.
- *
- * As the vast majority of faults will be valid we will only perform
- * the source reference check when there is a possibilty of a deadlock.
- * Attempt to lock the address space, if we cannot we then validate the
- * source. If this is invalid we can skip the address space check,
- * thus avoiding the deadlock.
