And we > shpuld look into converting that into a spinlock on rt. zram_lock_table() is bit_spin_lock() on !RT and spin_lock(&table->lock); on RT. So this is done. !RT has this running in a kmap_atomic() section so they have no preemption there. zcomp_stream_get() returns a per-CPU object which is protected with a spinlock and only accessed locked. > Thanks, > > tglx Sebastian
