From 8d5341a6260a59cf15c4ae0efbf0bcd8e1b8a6bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:44:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/ldt: use vfree_atomic() to free ldt entries vfree() is going to use sleeping lock. free_ldt_struct() may be called with disabled preemption, therefore we must use vfree_atomic() here. E.g. call trace: vfree() free_ldt_struct() destroy_context_ldt() __mmdrop() finish_task_switch() schedule_tail() ret_from_fork() Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479474236-4139-7-git-send-email-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Joel Fernandes Cc: Jisheng Zhang Cc: Chris Wilson Cc: John Dias Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "H.
