From 591d2fb02ea80472d846c0b8507007806bdd69cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:09:39 +0200 Subject: genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required by set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems nicely. Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.
