From 3fe4a975d662f11037cb710f8b4b158a3e38f9c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Libenzi Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:25:58 -0700 Subject: epoll: fix nested calls support This fixes a regression in 2.6.30. I unfortunately accepted a patch time ago, to drop the "current" usage from possible IRQ context, w/out proper thought over it. The patch switched to using the CPU id by bounding the nested call callback with a get_cpu()/put_cpu(). Unfortunately the ep_call_nested() function can be called with a callback that grabs sleepy locks (from own f_op->poll()), that results in epic fails. The following patch uses the proper "context" depending on the path where it is called, and on the kind of callback. This has been reported by Stefan Richter, that has also verified the patch is his previously failing environment.
