Subject: [PATCH V2] x86/mm/pat: Do a small optimization and fix in reserve_memtype
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 16:02:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55ADFC78.9070707@intel.com> (raw)
From: Pan Xinhui <xinhuix.pan@intel.com>
It's safe and more reasonable to unlock memtype_lock right after
rbt_memtype_check_insert. It's not cool to call kfree, pr_info, etc with
this lock held. So move spin_unlock a little ahead.
memory_lock protects data stored in rb-tree, if *new* succeed to be
stored into the rb-tree, we might hit panic. Because we access *new* in
dprintk "cattr_name(new->type)". data stored in the rb-tree might be
freed at any possbile time. It's abviously wrong to access such data
without lock. So save new->type to actual_type, and use actual_type in
dprintk.

change from V1:
fix an access of *new* without memtype_lock held.
