From e97a630eb0f5b8b380fd67504de6cedebb489003 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:39:19 -0800 Subject: mm: vmalloc use mutex for purge The vmalloc purge lock can be a mutex so we can sleep while a purge is going on (purge involves a global kernel TLB invalidate, so it can take quite a while).
