[PATCH] cpuset semaphore depth check optimize
Optimize the deadlock avoidance check on the global cpuset semaphore cpuset_sem. Instead of adding a depth counter to the task struct of each task, rather just two words are enough, one to store the depth and the other the current cpuset_sem holder. Thanks to Nikita Danilov for the idea. Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> [ We may want to change this further, but at least it's now a totally internal decision to the cpusets code ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
