Subject: [patch 4/4] mm: less atomic ops
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 11:41:09 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060118024149.10241.6312.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060118024106.10241.69438.sendpatchset@linux.site>
In the page release paths, we can be sure that nobody will mess with our
page->flags because the refcount has dropped to 0. So no need for atomic
operations here.
