My comment above was a little off because I was reading those two hunks (flush_batch and invalidate_batch) as being in the same function. They're not. I'm okay with the locking here, though you could remove the locking from flush_batch, since that's only run in single-threaded PM contexts. > > Thanks, > Lina > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
