[PATCH] [RT] avoid preemption in memory controller code

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

 



the lru_lock of struct mem_group_per_zone is used to avoid preemption
during the __mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe function.
therefore, a raw_spinlock_t should be used.
