[PATCH v6 07/10] mm: synchronize access to kmem_cache dying flag using a spinlock

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

 



Currently the memcg_params.dying flag and the corresponding
workqueue used for the asynchronous deactivation of kmem_caches
is synchronized using the slab_mutex.

It makes impossible to check this flag from the irq context,
which will be required in order to implement asynchronous release
of kmem_caches.

So let's switch over to the irq-save flavor of the spinlock-based
synchronization.
