[patch 13/19] sched/mmcid: Serialize sched_mm_cid_fork()/exit() with a mutex
Posted by Thomas Gleixner 2 months ago
Prepare for the new CID management scheme which puts the CID ownership
transition into the fork() and exit() slow path by serializing
sched_mm_cid_fork()/exit() with it, so task list and cpu mask walks can be
done in interruptible and preemptible code.

The contention on it is not worse than on other concurrency controls in the
fork()/exit() machinery.
