Subject: [PATCH V4] x86/mm/pat: Do a small optimization and fix in reserve_memtype
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 21:27:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55AF9A2C.6000703@intel.com> (raw)

From: Pan Xinhui <xinhuix.pan@intel.com>

It's more reasonable to unlock memtype_lock right after
rbt_memtype_check_insert. All pat_rbtree operations need to be performed
while holding the memtype_lock. But codes like kfree, pr_info, etc have
nothing to do with this lock. So move spin_unlock a little ahead.

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 possible time. It's obviously wrong
to access such data without lock held.

We use actual_type instead of new->type in dprintk. Two benefits, 1) We
don't touch *new* here now so panic can be avoided. 2) As new->type is
same with *new_type, We needn't to print it again, what's more, this
actual_type's output can help debug. When new_type is NULL, actual_type
is equal to new->type, So no key information is lost.

Do a minor codes style improvement.
