From a0e1d1be204612ee83b3afe8aa24c5d27e63d464 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:03:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] SLUB: Move sysfs operations outside of slub_lock Sysfs can do a gazillion things when called. Make sure that we do not call any sysfs functions while holding the slub_lock. Just protect the essentials: 1. The list of all slab caches 2. The kmalloc_dma array 3. The ref counters of the slabs.
