[PATCH v2 0/4] migrate: Avoid unbounded blocks in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT

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

 



This series is the result of discussion around my RFC patch [1] where
I talked about completely removing the waits for the folio_lock in
migrate_folio_unmap().

This new series should, I think, be more palatable to folks. Please
let me know what you think!

Most of the description of why I think we want this patch series can
be seen in patch #3 ("migrate_pages: Don't wait forever locking pages
in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT"). I won't repeat all that information here and
would humbly request that anyone wishing to comment on the overall
patch series respond there. ;-)

Changes in v2:
- "Add folio_lock_timeout()" new for v2.
- "Add lock_buffer_timeout()" new for v2.
- Keep unbounded delay in "SYNC", delay with a timeout in "SYNC_LIGHT"
- "Don't wait forever locking buffers in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT" new for v2.
