The change of the access rights for an address range in the kernel address space is currently done with a loop of IPTE + a store of the modified PTE. Between the IPTE and the store the PTE will be invalid, this intermediate state can cause problems with concurrent accesses. Consider a change of a kernel area from read-write to read-only, a concurrent reader of that area should be fine but with the invalid PTE it might get an unexpected exception. Remove the IPTEs for each PTE and do a global flush after all PTEs have been modified.
