This probably means that "transient" memory opregions, which appear and go away during the AML execution, are involved and so moving the RCU synchronization outside of the interpreter and namespace locks is not enough to cover this case. It should be covered by the v4 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/1666722.UopIai5n7p@kreacher/T/#u), though, because the unmapping is completely asynchronous in there and it doesn't add any significant latency to the interpreter exit path. So I would expect to see much better results with the v4, so I'd recommend testing this one next. > > Also it would be good to check the impact of the first two patches > > alone relative to all four. > > I'll start with the full set and see if they can also support the > "first 2" experiment. In the v4 there are just two patches, so it should be straightforward enough to test with and without the top-most one. :-)
