Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 15:26:36 +0200 From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at> To: dedekind1@...il.com Cc: linux-mtd@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [RFC] Don'd hold work_sem while calling worker functions I fail to see why we need work_sem while wrk->func() is executed. Artem, do you have an idea? Having the wear_leveling_worker() called without work_sem held would simplify the fastmap code too. I'm currently reworking some of it's code and I'm in locking hell. 8-) Thanks, //richard [PATCH 1/2] UBI: Call worker functions without work_sem held [PATCH 2/2] UBI: Get rid of __schedule_ubi_work() -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
