Subject: [PATCH] [RT] avoid preemption in memory controller code
Date: Mon,  8 Dec 2008 15:34:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1228746854-23875-1-git-send-email-tim@klingt.org> (raw)

the lru_lock of struct mem_group_per_zone is used to avoid preemption
during the __mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe function.
therefore, a raw_spinlock_t should be used.
