[PATCH 4.4 29/37] kaiser: drop is_atomic arg to kaiser_pagetable_walk()

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>


I have not observed a might_sleep() warning from setup_fixmap_gdt()'s
use of kaiser_add_mapping() in our tree (why not?), but like upstream
we have not provided a way for that to pass is_atomic true down to
kaiser_pagetable_walk(), and at startup it's far from a likely source
of trouble: so just delete the walk's is_atomic arg and might_sleep().
