From b3494a4ab20f6bdf74cdf2badf7918bb65ee8a00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 12:32:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/entry: Check for syscall exit work with IRQs disabled We currently have a race: if we're preempted during syscall exit, we can fail to process syscall return work that is queued up while we're preempted in ret_from_sys_call after checking ti.flags. Fix it by disabling interrupts before checking ti.flags.
