[patch 017/147] mm, slub: stop disabling irqs around get_partial()

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

 



From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, slub: stop disabling irqs around get_partial()

The function get_partial() does not need to have irqs disabled as a whole.
It's sufficient to convert spin_lock operations to their irq
saving/restoring versions.

As a result, it's now possible to reach the page allocator from the slab
allocator without disabling and re-enabling interrupts on the way.
