[PATCH 10/15] block: use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for the bio slab

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

 



This flags ensures that the pages will not be reused for non-bio
allocations before the end of an RCU grace period.  With that we can
safely use a RCU lookup for bio polling as long as we are fine with
occasionally polling the wrong device.
