Subject: [PATCH 06/10] blackfin: Fix possible deadlock in decode_address()
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 14:30:08 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120324103008.GF29067@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120324102609.GA28356@lizard>
Oleg Nesterov found an interesting deadlock possibility:
> sysrq_showregs_othercpus() does smp_call_function(showacpu)

To fix this, blackfin should not grab the write_ variant of the
tasklist lock, read_ one is enough.
