I can't follow this, please be more specific. The patches were sent to lkml without *any* indication that you weren't actually the author. So if Andrew had merged them, they would have been merged as yours. That "locking" code is also too ugly to live, at least without some
serious arguments for why it has to be done that way. Sorting the locks?
In a vmalloc'ed area? And calling this something innocuous like
"mm_lock()"? Hell no.
That's only invoked in mmu_notifier_register, mm_lock is explicitly documented as heavyweight function. Is that an excuse for UTTER AND TOTAL CRAP? Linus | ||||||||||
