Subject: [PATCH -rt] powerpc/qeic: fix sleeping in atomic context
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:58:55 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080826175855.GA9853@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)

Cascade interrupts do not use threads, thus handlers are called
with interrupts disabled. This means that we must not grab regular
spinlocks, since they might sleep:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context swapper(0) at kernel/rtmutex.c:743
in_atomic():1 [00010002], irqs_disabled():1

To fix the issue we should use raw spin lock.
