Rather than a time based approach, why not invalidate when it is known to change, either on the next call to get_vmalloc_info() or as part of the vmalloc operation itself? If the numbers don't change during your test, this would seem better and I don't think any vmalloc() function is intended to be hot. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
