From 79ae2cb856ed6a8c48f455d52d5ed5960c671e67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 21:44:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] uml: use GFP_ATOMIC for allocations under spinlocks. setup_initial_poll is only called with sigio_lock() held, so use appropriate allocation. Also, parse_chan() can also be called when holding a spinlock (see line_open() -> parse_chan_pair()). I have sporadic problems (spinlock taken twice, with spinlock debugging on UP) which could be caused by a sequence like "take spinlock, alloc and go to sleep, take again the spinlock in the other thread".
