[19/87] x86/mm: Fix pgd_lock deadlock

[Greg KH]

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a79e53d85683c6dd9f99c90511028adc2043031f upstream.

It's forbidden to take the page_table_lock with the irq disabled
or if there's contention the IPIs (for tlb flushes) sent with
the page_table_lock held will never run leading to a deadlock.

Nobody takes the pgd_lock from irq context so the _irqsave can be
removed.
