2.6 Locking
-----------
- lock_page_cgroup()/unlock_page_cgroup() should not be called under
- the i_pages lock.
+Lock order is as follows:
- Other lock order is following:
+ Page lock (PG_locked bit of page->flags)
+ mm->page_table_lock or split pte_lock
+ lock_page_memcg (memcg->move_lock)
+ mapping->i_pages lock
+ lruvec->lru_lock.
- PG_locked.
- mm->page_table_lock
- pgdat->lru_lock
- lock_page_cgroup.
-
- In many cases, just lock_page_cgroup() is called.
-
- per-zone-per-cgroup LRU (cgroup's private LRU) is just guarded by
- pgdat->lru_lock, it has no lock of its own.
+Per-node-per-memcgroup LRU (cgroup's private LRU) is guarded by
+lruvec->lru_lock; PG_lru bit of page->flags is cleared before
+isolating a page from its LRU under lruvec->lru_lock.
