From: Jiang Liu Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 06:04:29 +0000 (+0800) Subject: x86, irq, ACPI: Introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC operations from hotplug X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.19/fixes-rc1~23^2~22 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5da2fd26193433006255d534b3a01eae37e58428;p=pandora-kernel.git x86, irq, ACPI: Introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC operations from hotplug We are going to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug, so introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC data structures from IOAPIC hotplug. We choose to serialize in ACPI instead of in the IOAPIC core because: 1) currently we only plan to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug 2) it's much more cleaner and easier 3) It does't affect IOAPIC discovered by devicetree, SFI and mpparse.
