From 9c40cef2b799f9b5e7fa5de4d2ad3a0168ba118c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:47:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Move blk_schedule_flush_plug() out of __schedule() There is no real reason to run blk_schedule_flush_plug() with interrupts and preemption disabled. Move it into schedule() and call it when the task is going voluntarily to sleep. There might be false positives when the task is woken between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really different from being woken immediately after switching away. This fixes a deadlock in the scheduler where the blk_schedule_flush_plug() callchain enables interrupts and thereby allows a wakeup to happen of the task that's going to sleep.
