Subject: [PATCH -next v2 0/2] kernel/sys: reduce tasklist_lock usage get/set priorities
Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 17:03:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200512000353.23653-1-dave@stgolabs.net> (raw)
Hi,
The following are two patches that deal with removing the tasklist_lock entirely in
getpriority(2), and reducing the scope of it in setpriority(2). This also aligns
somewhat to what we already do with io priorities - although there both set and get
rely entirely on rcu.
Details in the changelog but this passes ltp tests. Please consider for v5.8.
Changes from v1:
- split get and set into two patches.
- improved changelog.
Thanks!
Davidlohr Bueso (2):
kernel/sys: only rely on rcu for getpriority(2)
kernel/sys: do not grab tasklist_lock for sys_setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS)
