Message-Id: <1310649380-13492-1-git-send-email-fhrbata@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 15:16:20 +0200 From: Frantisek Hrbata <fhrbata@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: oleg@...hat.com, matt.fleming@...ux.intel.com, hughd@...gle.com Subject: [PATCH] exec: remove page_table_lock for mm counters in acct_arg_size() Commit 172703b mm: delete non-atomic mm counter implementation removed non-atomic mm counters implementation. I think there is no need to hold page_table_lock for add_mm_counter() when the splitted page table locks are not used. This patch removes the locking.
