[PATCH 4/7] mm: defer vmalloc from atomic context

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

 



We want to be able to use a sleeping lock for freeing vmap to keep
latency down.  For this we need to use the deferred vfree mechanisms
no only from interrupt, but from any atomic context.
