Subject: sched: fix missing locking in sched_domains code
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc2~62^2~5
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=712555ee4f873515612f89554ad1a3fda5fa887e;p=linux-2.6

sched: fix missing locking in sched_domains code

Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical
sections that were protected by the old lock.

So use the already present doms_cur_mutex to protect these sections again.
