Subject: [PATCH] sched: missing locking in sched_domains code
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:12:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080427211224.GA21830@osiris.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> (raw)
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.
So add a new sched_domains_mutex which protects these sections again.
