[RFC PATCH v2 8/8] mm: enable concurrent LRU adds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Switch over to holding lru_lock as reader when splicing pages onto the
front of an LRU.  The main benefit of doing this is to allow LRU adds
and removes to happen concurrently.  Before this patch, an add blocks
all removing threads.
