[PATCH v3 29/35] mm: slub: Move flush_cpu_slab() invocations __free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context

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

 



From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache
is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens
within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT.

The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The
per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue.
