Consider this fixed. I have extracted the common function and the new shmem_insert_page_page_cache function looks like this: spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock); error = __add_to_page_cache_locked(page, mapping, index); if (!error) __mod_zone_page_state(page_zone(page), NR_SHMEM, nr); radix_tree_preload_end(); spin_unlock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock); if (error) page_cache_release(page); return error; Best wishes, -- Ning Qu (曲宁) | Software Engineer | quning@xxxxxxxxxx | +1-408-418-6066 On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 10:49 AM, Ning Qu <quning@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Yes, I guess I can if I just put whatever inside the spin lock into a > common function.
