Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: fix idr locking in init_new_context
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 08:46:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060627124609.GA2497@kevlar.burdell.org> (raw)
We always need to serialize accesses to mmu_context_idr.
I hit this bug when testing with a small number of mmu contexts.
