Subject: [patch 4/6] mm: less atomic ops
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 20:23:20 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060119192210.11913.49481.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060119192131.11913.27564.sendpatchset@linux.site>
In the page release paths, we can be sure that nobody will mess with our
page->flags because the refcount has dropped to 0. So no need for atomic
operations here.
