Subject: Re: [PATCH] percpu_counter: use local_t and atomic_long_t if possible
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:43:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1230032601.9487.247.camel@twins> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49424637.3010107@cosmosbay.com>
One think that sprung to mind,..
IFF we're going to implement percpu_counter with local_t and make
local_t this funny tri-counter thing which has its own error, you need
to fix up bdi_stat_error() - it expects to be an upper bound for the
counter error, getting that wrong _will_ cause deadlocks.
