| Remove mixture of non-atomic operations with page->flags which requires atomic operations to access | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description: page->flags is effectively a lock word as its various bits are updatable and accessible only by atomic operations. This patch removes the update of page->flags in __free_pages_ok() with non-atomic operations in favor of using atomic bit operations to update the bits to be cleared. |
