[PATCH] ACPICA: don't cond_resched() when irq_disabled or in_atomic

From: Xiaotian Feng
Date: Thu Dec 03 2009 - 23:26:39 EST


commit 8bd108d adds preemption point after each opcode parse, then
a sleeping function called from invalid context bug was founded
during suspend/resume stage. this was fixed in commit abe1dfa by
don't cond_resched when irq_disabled. But recent commit 138d156 changes
the behaviour to don't cond_resched when in_atomic. This makes the
sleeping function called from invalid context bug happen again, which
is reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/1/371.

The fix is to cond_sched() only when preemptible, which means not in
irq_disabled or in_atomic.
