Description
**Reported in Launchpad by Laurynas Biveinis last update 15-02-2017 09:08:46
Investigate whether buf_page_set_accessed locking can be weakened. Some protection is needed, as this page not block, thus the pointer could go invalid at any time without locking. But maybe the page mutex is not necessary, and e.g. buf_fix_count > 0 or similar would be enough.
