[PATCH 2/2] drm: mm always protect change to unused_nodes with unused_lock spinlock

From: Jerome Glisse
Date: Fri Nov 13 2009 - 14:57:22 EST


unused_nodes modification needs to be protected by unused_lock spinlock.
Here is an example of an usage where there is no such protection without
this patch.

Process 1: 1-drm_mm_pre_get(this function modify unused_nodes list)
2-spin_lock(spinlock protecting mm struct)
3-drm_mm_put_block(this function might modify unused_nodes
list but doesn't protect modification with unused_lock)
4-spin_unlock(spinlock protecting mm struct)
Process2: 1-drm_mm_pre_get(this function modify unused_nodes list)
At this point Process1 & Process2 might both be doing modification to
unused_nodes list. This patch add unused_lock protection into
drm_mm_put_block to avoid such issue.
