[PATCH RT 05/12] slab: Prevent local lock deadlock

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

 



From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On RT we avoid the cross cpu function calls and take the per cpu local
locks instead. Now the code missed that taking the local lock on the
cpu which runs the code must use the proper local lock functions and
not a simple spin_lock(). Otherwise it deadlocks later when trying to
acquire the local lock with the proper function.
