[PATCH 39/41] kernel/fork: throttle call_rcu() calls in vm_area_free

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

 



call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled.
Its use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when
multiple VMAs are being freed. To minimize that impact, place VMAs into
a list and free them in groups using one call_rcu() call per group.
