[PATCH] mm: remove global locks from mm/highmem.c

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

 



Eradicate global locks.

 - kmap_lock is removed by extensive use of atomic_t, a new flush
   scheme and modifying set_page_address to only allow NULL<->virt
   transitions.

A count of 0 is an exclusive state acting as an entry lock. This is done
using inc_not_zero and cmpxchg. The restriction on changing the virtual
address closes the gap with concurrent additions of the same entry.

 - pool_lock is removed by using the pkmap index for the
   page_address_maps.

By using the pkmap index for the hash entries it is no longer needed to
keep a free list.

This patch has been in -rt for a while but should also help regular
highmem machines with multiple cores/cpus.
