The patch titled Subject: mm: shrinker: convert shrinker_rwsem to mutex has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-shrinker-convert-shrinker_rwsem-to-mutex.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-shrinker-convert-shrinker_rwsem-to-mutex.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: shrinker: convert shrinker_rwsem to mutex Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 17:44:44 +0800 Now there are no readers of shrinker_rwsem, so we can simply replace it with mutex lock.
