From 8e8a2dea0ca91fe2cb7de7ea212124cfe8c82c35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zygo Blaxell Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:33:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/genalloc.c: remove unmatched write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy There is a call to write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy which is not balanced by any corresponding write_unlock(). This causes problems with preemption because the preemption-disable counter is incremented in the write_lock() call, but never decremented by any call to write_unlock(). This bug is gen_pool_destroy, and one of them is non-x86 arch-specific code.
