From 89f19f04dc72363d912fd007a399cb10310eff6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 11:55:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix raciness in runqueue_is_locked() runqueue_is_locked() is unavoidably racy due to a poor interface design. It does cpu = get_cpu() ret = some_perpcu_thing(cpu); put_cpu(cpu); return ret; Its return value is unreliable. Fix.
