Subject: [PATCH] uml: avoid malloc to sleep in atomic sections
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc2~319
X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b63162939cd797c8269964ce856ed1f2fec5f70e;p=pandora-kernel.git

[PATCH] uml: avoid malloc to sleep in atomic sections

Ugly trick to help make malloc not sleeping - we can't do anything else.  But
this is not yet optimal, since spinlock don't trigger in_atomic() when
preemption is disabled.

Also, even if ugly, this was already used in one place, and was even more
bogus.  Fix it.
