This is not really productive approach! You are rising non-material concerns you haven't proven to be real. This is blocking otherwise useful fix. I am completely fine recording your nack with a reference to your concern should we ever trip over your concerns and so we can easily revert and find a different solution but I do not believe this should stand in the way in the fix. Now concerning the patch 1 in the series, I do agree this should be passing through the lockdep maintainers. But this fix is not really dependent on it. > On 2023/07/03 8:40, Andrew Morton wrote: > > The patch titled > > Subject: mm/page_alloc: use write_seqlock_irqsave() instead write_seqlock() + local_irq_save(). > > has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch.
