From 179a8100e12d0053f4b368ea3358dd9a0fc6cb94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 10:14:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Do no create the clean-up thread during kmemleak_disable() The kmemleak_disable() function could be called from various contexts including IRQ. It creates a clean-up thread but the kthread_create() function has restrictions on which contexts it can be called from, mainly because of the kthread_create_lock. The patch changes the kmemleak clean-up thread to a workqueue. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Reported-by: Eric Paris --- Reading git-format-patch failed
