Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 12:51:20 -0700 Subject: sparc64: Take ctx_alloc_lock properly in hugetlb_setup(). From: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9ea46abe22550e3366ff7cee2f8391b35b12f730 ] On cheetahplus chips we take the ctx_alloc_lock in order to modify the TLB lookup parameters for the indexed TLBs, which are stored in the context register. This is called with interrupts disabled, however ctx_alloc_lock is an IRQ safe lock, therefore we must take acquire/release it properly with spin_{lock,unlock}_irq().
