From 5da2fd26193433006255d534b3a01eae37e58428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiang Liu Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 14:04:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
