Subject: [PATCH 3/6] mm, page_alloc: Check once if a zone has isolated pageblocks -fix
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:57:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461769043-28337-4-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461769043-28337-1-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Vlastimil Babka pointed out that the original code was protected by
the zone lock and provided a fix.
This is a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-page_alloc-check-once-if-a-zone-has-isolated-pageblocks.patch . Once
applied the following line should be removed from the changelog "Technically
this is race-prone but so is the existing code."
