[PATCH 00/28] mm: preemptibility -v3
This patch-set makes part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes and makes mmu_gather fully preemptible. The main motivation was making mm_take_all_locks() preemptible, since it appears people are nesting hundreds of spinlocks there. The side-effects are that ca... 7 Jun 2010 08:32

[PATCH 05/28] track the root (oldest) anon_vma
From: Rik van Riel <riel(a)redhat.com> Track the root (oldest) anon_vma in each anon_vma tree. Because we only take the lock on the root anon_vma, we cannot use the lock on higher-up anon_vmas to lock anything. This makes it impossible to do an indirect lookup of the root anon_vma, since the data structures coul... 7 Jun 2010 08:32

[PATCH 11/28] mm: Preemptible mmu_gather
Make mmu_gather preemptible by using a small on stack list and use an option allocation to speed things up. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside t... 7 Jun 2010 08:32
