Unless of course that running task is in a migrate disable section itself ;-) But I guess we will always have that SHC, and there will always be a scenario that you can't balance properly. But hopefully in practice we wont see that. How to handle kmap_local(), will migrate_disable() be used only for 32bit or, for consistency, will it also apply to 64bit? -- Steve _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
