From: Nishanth Aravamudan Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 12:18:18 +0000 (-0800) Subject: hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctl X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~278 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3d0c6aa1bb342b9b2c7b123b52ac2f48a4d4d0a;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctl 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().
