Subject: Re: needed lru_add_drain_all() change
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:46:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120626234603.779f5cbb.akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)

btw, the first step should be to audit all lru_add_drain_all() sites
and work out exactly why they are calling lru_add_drain_all() - what
are they trying to achive?

Because we may be able to use a more lightweight approach there, or
handle the asynchronous behaviour in a more graceful fashion, rather
than forcing this massive synchronization barrier.
