From 109704492ef637956265ec2eb72ae7b3b39eb6f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Fernandes Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2016 00:34:00 -0700 Subject: pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global 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.
