[PATCH] mm: make 'highmem' symbol ro_after_init

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

 



The 'highmem' variable is only set at boot, so we can make it
ro_after_init and prevent it from being corrupted inadvertently, or from
ending up in a contended cacheline.
