[patch 09/13] mm/thp: do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()

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

 



From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/thp: do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()

deferred_split_scan() gets called from reclaim path.  Waiting for page
lock may lead to deadlock there.

Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed to
lock it.  We will get to the page on the next scan.
