Subject: [PATCH 8/9] mm: fix rss and mmlist locking
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2005 17:30:37 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0510221729200.18047@goblin.wat.veritas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0510221716380.18047@goblin.wat.veritas.com>
A couple of oddities were guarded by page_table_lock, no longer properly
guarded when that is split.
The mm_counters of file_rss and anon_rss: make those an atomic_t, or an
atomic64_t if the architecture supports it, in such a case. Definitions
by courtesy of Christoph Lameter: who spent considerable effort on more
scalable ways of counting, but found insufficient benefit in practice.
And adding an mm with swap to the mmlist for swapoff: the list is well-
guarded by its own lock, but the list_empty check now has to be repeated
inside it.
