[patch 004/147] mm, slub: don't disable irq for debug_check_no_locks_freed()

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

 



From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, slub: don't disable irq for debug_check_no_locks_freed()

In slab_free_hook() we disable irqs around the
debug_check_no_locks_freed() call, which is unnecessary, as irqs are
already being disabled inside the call.  This seems to be leftover from
the past where there were more calls inside the irq disabled sections. 
Remove the irq disable/enable operations.

Mel noted:
> Looks like it was needed for kmemcheck which went away back in 4.15
