From 2733c06ac864ed40b9dfbbd5270f3f16949bd4a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KOSAKI Motohiro Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 18:08:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: protect prev_priority Currently, mem_cgroup doesn't have own lock and almost its member doesn't need. (e.g. mem_cgroup->info is protected by zone lock, mem_cgroup->stat is per cpu variable) However, there is one explict exception. mem_cgroup->prev_priorit need lock, but doesn't protect. Luckly, this is NOT bug because prev_priority isn't used for current reclaim code. However, we plan to use prev_priority future again. Therefore, fixing is better. In addition, we plan to reuse this lock for another member. Then "reclaim_param_lock" name is better than "prev_priority_lock".
