[PATCH] mm, show_mem: drop pgdat_resize_lock in show_mem()

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

 



Function show_mem() is used to print system memory status when user
requires or fail to allocate memory. Generally, this is a best effort
information and not willing to affect core mm subsystem.

The data protected by pgdat_resize_lock is mostly correct except there is:

   * page struct defer init
   * memory hotplug
