[RFC v3 6/7] shm: wait for pins to be released when sealing

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

 



We currently fail setting SEAL_WRITE in case there're pending page
references. This patch extends the pin-tests to wait up to 150ms for all
references to be dropped. This is still not perfect in that it doesn't
account for harmless read-only pins, but it's much better than a hard
failure.
