Subject: [PATCH 7/9] tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inode
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:04:12 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0712182203260.27165@blonde.wat.veritas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0712182144370.26235@blonde.wat.veritas.com>
There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open
a window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching
swap entry, and its handling of the entry found.
shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in
that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had
better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too.
Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll
leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse
into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match.
Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the
unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.
