Subject: [PATCH] x86: add might_sleep() to do_page_fault()
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:56:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1233241003.4495.97.camel@laptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200901291541.32618.frank.mehnert@sun.com>
VirtualBox calls do_page_fault() from an atomic context but runs into a
might_sleep() way pas this point, cure that.
