Subject: [PATCH] setup_per_zone_pages_min(): take zone->lock instead of zone->lru_lock
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:39:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1222882772.4846.40.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080930103748.44A3.E1E9C6FF@jp.fujitsu.com>

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> 

This replaces zone->lru_lock in setup_per_zone_pages_min() with zone->lock.
There seems to be no need for the lru_lock anymore, but there is a need for
zone->lock instead, because that function may call move_freepages() via
setup_zone_migrate_reserve().
