If two threads concurrently fault at the same page, the thread that won the race updates the PTE and its local TLB. For now, the other thread gives up, simply does nothing, and continues. It could happen that this second thread triggers another fault, whereby it only updates its local TLB while handling the fault. Instead of triggering another fault, let's directly update the local TLB of the second thread. Function update_mmu_tlb is used here to update local TLB on the second thread, and it is defined as empty on other arches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
