The patch titled Subject: shmem: use raw_spinlock_t for ->stat_lock has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was shmem-use-raw_spinlock_t-for-stat_lock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: shmem: use raw_spinlock_t for ->stat_lock Each CPU has SHMEM_INO_BATCH inodes available in `->ino_batch' which is per-CPU. Access here is serialized by disabling preemption. If the pool is empty, it gets reloaded from `->next_ino'. Access here is serialized by ->stat_lock which is a spinlock_t and can not be acquired with disabled preemption. One way around it would make per-CPU ino_batch struct containing the inode number a local_lock_t. Another solution is to promote ->stat_lock to a raw_spinlock_t. The critical sections are short. The mpol_put() must be moved outside of the critical section to avoid invoking the destructor with disabled preemption.
