From 84bc227d7fde049a568cd58a5610613feedc0dff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rolf Eike Beer Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:47:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/dmapool.c: take lock only once in dma_pool_free() dma_pool_free() scans for the page to free in the pool list holding the pool lock. Then it releases the lock basically to acquire it immediately again. Modify the code to only take the lock once. This will do some additional loops and computations with the lock held in if memory debugging is activated. If it is not activated the only new operations with this lock is one if and one substraction.
