Subject: [PATCH] cpuset fork locking fix
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 20:51:54 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051126045154.28188.49905.sendpatchset@jackhammer.engr.sgi.com> (raw)
Move the cpuset_fork() call below the write_unlock_irq call
in kernel/fork.c copy_process().
Since the cpuset-dual-semaphore-locking-overhaul.patch, the
cpuset_fork() routine acquires task_lock(), so cannot be called
while holding the tasklist_lock for write.
