Yes, But this patch also modifies it to not take the lock, because we hold spin_lock just below in the call site. I didn't want to drop the lock and take it again. > > It's quite hard to review code that is split up like this.

One of the reason I split the charge/uncharge routines and the callers in separate patches is to make it easier for review. Irrespective of the call site charge/uncharge routines should be correct with respect to locking and other details. What I did in this patch is a small optimization of avoiding dropping and taking the lock again. May be the right approach would have been to name it __hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_page and make sure the hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_page still takes spin_lock. But then we don't have any callers for that. -aneesh -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
