The patch titled mm: use lockless radix-tree probe has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-use-lockless-radix-tree-probe.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mm: use lockless radix-tree probe From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx> Probing pages and radix_tree_tagged are lockless operations with the lockless radix-tree. Convert these users to RCU locking rather than using tree_lock.
