From d4033afdf8282802ad28b0ed854393454115a071 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:07:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist, in vmallocinfo() This patch is a preparatory step for removing vmlist entirely. For above purpose, we change iterating a vmap_list codes to iterating a vmap_area_list. It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing should be noticed. Using vmap_area_list in vmallocinfo() introduce ordering problem in SMP system. In s_show(), we retrieve some values from vm_struct. vm_struct's values is not fully setup when va->vm is assigned. Full setup is notified by removing VM_UNLIST flag without holding a lock. When we see that VM_UNLIST is removed, it is not ensured that vm_struct has proper values in view of other CPUs. So we need smp_[rw]mb for ensuring that proper values is assigned when we see that VM_UNLIST is removed. Therefore, this patch not only change a iteration list, but also add a appropriate smp_[rw]mb to right places. Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "H.
