[PATCH] cpuidle: coupled: fix sleeping while atomic in cpu notifier
From: Colin Cross
Date: Wed Jul 25 2012 - 17:20:17 EST
The cpu hotplug notifier gets called in both atomic and non-atomic
contexts, it is not always safe to lock a mutex. Filter out all events
except the six necessary ones, which are all sleepable, before taking
the mutex.
