[PATCH 2.6.13] lockless pagecache 6/7

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

 



6/7

--
SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.

Use the speculative get_page and the lockless radix tree lookups
to introduce lockless page cache lookups (ie. no mapping->tree_lock).

The only atomicity changes this should introduce is the use of a
non atomic pagevec lookup for truncate, however what atomicity
guarantees there were are probably not too useful anyway.
