X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16.28~3494^2~53 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79ae2cb856ed6a8c48f455d52d5ed5960c671e67;p=karo-tx-linux.git [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".
