From bea04b073292b2acb522c7c1aa67a4fc58151530 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jianyu Zhan Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:09:51 -0700 Subject: mm: use the light version __mod_zone_page_state in mlocked_vma_newpage() mlocked_vma_newpage() is called with pte lock held(a spinlock), which implies preemtion disabled, and the vm stat counter is not modified from interrupt context, so we need not use an irq-safe mod_zone_page_state() here, using a light-weight version __mod_zone_page_state() would be OK. This patch also documents __mod_zone_page_state() and some of its callsites. The comment above __mod_zone_page_state() is from Hugh Dickins, and acked by Christoph. Most credits to Hugh and Christoph for the clarification on the usage of the __mod_zone_page_state().
