Subject: Question: cpuset_update_task_memory_state() and mmap_sem ???
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:38:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1187033902.5592.33.camel@localhost> (raw)
In the comment block for the subject function in cpuset.c, it notes that
"This routine also might acquire callback_mutex and
current->mm->mmap_sem."
Is this is a stale comment? I can't find any path from this function to
a down_{read|write}() on the caller's mmap_sem [in 23-rc2-mm2]. I
suspect that one would have noticed, as
cpuset_update_task_memory_state() is called from
alloc_page_vma() which, according to its comment block, can only be
called with the mmap_sem held [for read, at least].
