Subject: [PATCH 1/2] trace: disable preemption before taking raw spinlocks
Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 01:35:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243467327-13194-2-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243467327-13194-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

s390 code uses smp_processor_id() in __raw_spin_lock() code which
reveals that a (raw) spinlock is taken without preemption disabled.
This can potentially deadlock.

To fix this explicitly disable and enable preemption.

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cat/2278
caller is trace_find_cmdline+0x40/0xfc
