Subject: [19/87] x86/mm: Fix pgd_lock deadlock
2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>
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.
