[RFC 0/5] disable pcplists during page isolation

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

 



As per the discussions [1] [2] this is an attempt to implement David's
suggestion that page isolation should disable pcplists to avoid races. This is
done without extra checks in fast paths, as I mentioned should be possible in
the discussion, and explained in patch 5. Patches 1-4 are preparatory cleanups.

Note this is untested RFC for now. Based on v5.9-rc4 plus Pavel's patch [2]
(slated as a quick fix for mainline+stable).
