Subject: [PATCH v16 01/13] vmstat: add quiet_vmstat_sync function
Date:   Fri,  3 Nov 2017 13:04:40 -0400
Message-Id: <1509728692-10460-2-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com>
In-Reply-To: <1509728692-10460-1-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com>

Precedence: bulk

In commit f01f17d3705b ("mm, vmstat: make quiet_vmstat lighter")
the quiet_vmstat() function became asynchronous, in the sense that
the vmstat work was still scheduled to run on the core when the
function returned.  For task isolation, we need a synchronous
version of the function that guarantees that the vmstat worker
will not run on the core on return from the function.  Add a
quiet_vmstat_sync() function with that semantic.
