Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 15/26] alpha: Fix preemption handling in idle loop
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:05:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346360743-3628-15-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1346360743-3628-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
cpu_idle() is called on the boot CPU by the init code with
preemption disabled. But the cpu_idle() function in alpha
doesn't handle this when it calls schedule() directly.
Fix it by converting it into schedule_preempt_disabled().
Also disable preemption before calling cpu_idle() from
secondary CPU entry code to stay consistent with this
state.
