Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] lockdep: Fix redundant_hardirqs_on incremented with irqs enabled
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 23:10:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1271365843-17415-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
When a path restore the flags while irqs are already enabled, we
update the per cpu var redundant_hardirqs_on in a racy fashion
and debug_atomic_inc() warns about this situation.
In this particular case, loosing a few hits in a stat is not a big
deal, so increment it without protection.
v2: Don't bother with disabling irq, we can miss one count in
rare situations
