[PATCH 3.18 02/92] pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Aug 09 2017 - 16:38:25 EST
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 109704492ef637956265ec2eb72ae7b3b39eb6f4 upstream.
Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones
are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need
to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced
here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag
introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone
per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this,
make the locking optional.
