Also skb_release_data(), ___pskb_trim() and __pskb_pull_tail(). Can these ever perform the final release against a page which is on the LRU? In interrupt context?
These page releases run from either user or softint context.
They must never run from HW irqs, in fact there is a BUG() check there against this.
Any page that can be found in the page cache can end up here. So whatever that mean for "release against a page which is on the LRU" applies here. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
