[PATCH] bcache: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
journal_wait_for_write (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  closure_sync
    schedule --> may sleep

To fix it, the lock is released before "closure_sync", and the lock is 
acquired again after this function.
