From 078194f8e9fe3cf54c8fd8bded48a1db5bd8eb8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 09:39:09 -0700 Subject: x86/mm, sched/core: Turn off IRQs in switch_mm() Potential races between switch_mm() and TLB-flush or LDT-flush IPIs could be very messy. AFAICT the code is currently okay, whether by accident or by careful design, but enabling PCID will make it considerably more complicated and will no longer be obviously safe. Fix it with a big hammer: run switch_mm() with IRQs off. To avoid a performance hit in the scheduler, we take advantage of our knowledge that the scheduler already has IRQs disabled when it calls switch_mm().
