We'll need to make get_vma_policy() always take a reference and then drop it accordingly. This work sif get_vma_policy() can grab a reference while holding task_lock() for the task policy fallback case. Comments on this approach?
I think this refcounting is better than using task_lock(). Thanks, -Kame -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ . Don't email: <a href=mailto:"dont@xxxxxxxxx";> email@xxxxxxxxx </a>
