[patch 58/59] move_task_off_dead_cpu() should be called with disabled ints

From: Chris Wright
Date: Fri Feb 02 2007 - 21:47:26 EST


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

From: Kirill Korotaev <dev@xxxxxxxxxx>

move_task_off_dead_cpu() requires interrupts to be disabled, while
migrate_dead() calls it with enabled interrupts. Added appropriate
comments to functions and added BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) into
double_rq_lock() and double_lock_balance() which are the origin sources of
such bugs.
