[RFC 04/17] drm/cgroup: Allow safe external access to file_priv

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

 



From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx>

Entry points from the cgroup subsystem into the drm cgroup controller will
need to walk the file_priv structures associated with registered clients
and since those are not RCU protected lets add a hack for now to make this
safe.
