Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/vmscan: add sync_shrinkers function
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2021 09:17:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210409071725.1532-1-christian.koenig@amd.com> (raw)
To be able to switch to a spinlock and reduce lock contention in the TTM
shrinker we don't want to hold a mutex while unmapping and freeing pages
from the pool.
But then we somehow need to prevent a race between (for example) the shrinker
trying to free pages and hotplug trying to remove the device which those pages
belong to.
Taking and releasing the shrinker semaphore on the write side after
unmapping and freeing all pages should make sure that no shrinker is running in
paralell any more.
