This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sched: Make wakeup side and atomic variants of completion API irq safe to the 2.6.32-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sched-make-wakeup-side-and-atomic-variants-of-completion-api-irq-safe.patch and it can be found in the queue-2.6.32 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From rjw@xxxxxxx Thu Sep 16 14:03:08 2010 From: Rafael J.Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2009 00:07:30 +0100 Subject: sched: Make wakeup side and atomic variants of completion API irq safe To: stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>, Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>, Greg KH <greg@xxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <09c3ea5b3483bec5c4181b9dfd61b5da6b15969b.1283514306.git.efault@xxxxxx> From: Rafael J.Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> commit 7539a3b3d1f892dd97eaf094134d7de55c13befe upstream Alan Stern noticed that all the wakeup side (and atomic) variants of the completion APIs should be irq safe, but the newly introduced completion_done() and try_wait_for_completion() aren't. The use of the irq unsafe variants in IRQ contexts can cause crashes/hangs. Fix the problem by making them use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_lock_irqrestore().
