# \[PATCH v2 03/26\] mm/fbatch: temporarily disable lazyfree and mlock+munlock batching - From: Hugh Dickins \ - Date: 2026-09-09 09:46:52 - List: linux-block - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-block/2026/09/17536809 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-block/2026/09/17536725/t.md ```text It will not matter if we occasionally get activation or deactivation wrong; but a mistaken lazyfree (MADV_FREE) would likely cause dataloss. So disable its batching while reworking the per-cpu fbatch handling, then re-enable it with more thought afterwards. Similarly disable mlock+munlock batching temporarily: they will need some redesign before re-enabling. Just insert one disabling line for now, leaving the rest of the code as it was, for consideration later.
