Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix deadlock in icswx code
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:43:15 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110915054315.5e5ae062@kryten> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110915052313.7127520d@kryten>
The icswx code introduced an A-B B-A deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&anon_vma->mutex);
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
lock(&anon_vma->mutex);
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
Instead of using the mmap_sem to keep mm_users constant, take the
page table spinlock.
