After getting a page from alloc_pages(mask, order), is it necessary to lock the page to prevent it from being swapped out? Can I assume that I already have exclusive access to the page? Can I assume that the page is free and no other kernel control paths would use it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
