Subject: Updating dirty bitmap by non-atomic set bit is safe?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:12:04 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BA85BB4.8030001@oss.ntt.co.jp> (raw)
Hi, does anybody knows about this?
Currently, dirty bitmap is updated by generic___set_le_bit().
I checked the git log and mail archives but could not find any
explanation why replacing set_bit() by generic___set_le_bit() is
safe.
Thanks,
Takuya
