mm: workingset: remove local_irq_disable() from count_shadow_nodes()
Patch series "mm: use irq locking suffix instead local_irq_disable()".
A small series which avoids using local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
but instead does spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() so it is within the
context of the lock which it belongs to. Patch #1 is a cleanup where
local_irq_.*() remained after the lock was removed.
This patch (of 2):
In 0c7c1bed7e13 ("mm: make counting of list_lru_one::nr_items lockless")
the
spin_lock(&nlru->lock);
statement was replaced with
rcu_read_lock();
in __list_lru_count_one(). The comment in count_shadow_nodes() says
that the local_irq_disable() is required because the lock must be
acquired with disabled interrupts and (spin_lock()) does not do so.
Since the lock is replaced with rcu_read_lock() the local_irq_disable()
is no longer needed. The code path is
list_lru_shrink_count()
-> list_lru_count_one()
-> __list_lru_count_one()
-> rcu_read_lock()
-> list_lru_from_memcg_idx()
-> rcu_read_unlock()
Remove the local_irq_disable() statement.
