From: Andreas Larsson <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 66d0f7ec9f1038452178b1993fc07fd96d30fd38 ] Load balancing can be triggered in the critical sections protected by srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() and can hang the cpu waiting for the rq lock of another cpu that in turn has called switch_mm hangning on srmmu_context_spinlock leading to deadlock. So, disable interrupt while taking srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() so we don't deadlock. See also commit 77b838fa1ef0 ("[SPARC64]: destroy_context() needs to disable interrupts.") Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
