![]() The MMU context_lock can be taken from switch_mm() while the rq->lock is held. The rq->lock can also be taken from interrupts, thus if we get interrupted in destroy_context() with the context lock held and that interrupt tries to take the rq->lock, there's a possible deadlock scenario with another CPU having the rq->lock and calling switch_mm() which takes our context lock. The fix is to always ensure interrupts are off when taking our context lock. The switch_mm() path is already good so this fixes the destroy_context() path. While at it, turn the context lock into a new style spinlock. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> |
