From fc2acab31be8e869b2d5f6de12f557f6f054f19c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 18:16:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: tlb_finish_mmu forget rss zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss. That got stranger when I added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros. And it would no longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock. Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that). And forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative - if rss does go negative, just fix that bug. Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use was being made of them. But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush. arm26 seems to prefer spaces to tabs here: respect that.
