Subject: [PATCH v2] E500 Make steal_context SMP-safe.
Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:46:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47F509CC.9010205@mvista.com> (raw)
When steal_context is used on SMP systems, it can steal a context in
use by one of the other processors. This patch adds context tracking to
prevent this as suggested by BenH.
Signed-off-by: Randy Vinson <rvinson@mvista.com>

The previous version of this patch had some unnecessary code which has been
removed in this version.
Note: This is a proof-of-concept patch. This isn't my area of expertise,
so I'd greatly appreciate any guidance I can get. I'm considering the
use of for_each_online_cpu() instead of for_each_possible_cpu() and
possibly putting the changes under a CONFIG_SMP switch to prevent unnecessary
overhead in the non-SMP case.
