Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm: thp: grab the lock before manipulation defer list
Date: Fri,  3 Jan 2020 22:34:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200103143407.1089-1-richardw.yang@linux.intel.com> (raw)

As all the other places, we grab the lock before manipulate the defer list.
Current implementation may face a race condition.

Fixes: 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split shrinker memcg aware")

Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@linux.intel.com>

I notice the difference during code reading and just confused about the
difference. No specific test is done since limited knowledge about cgroup.

Maybe I miss something important?
