Subject: [patch 4/4] mm: less atomic ops
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 11:41:09 +0100 (CET)
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

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.
