From: Nishanth Aravamudan Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 12:18:18 +0000 (-0800) Subject: hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctl X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24.3~32 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=091a61f602b7db7f4d1fdcb41e6ff9a97a6e0cce;p=karo-tx-linux.git hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctl patch a3d0c6aa1bb342b9b2c7b123b52ac2f48a4d4d0a in mainline. When I replaced hugetlb_dynamic_pool with nr_overcommit_hugepages I used proc_doulongvec_minmax() directly. However, hugetlb.c's locking rules require that all counter modifications occur under the hugetlb_lock. Add a callback into the hugetlb code similar to the one for nr_hugepages. Grab the lock around the manipulation of nr_overcommit_hugepages in proc_doulongvec_minmax().
