From 2fc46915ecfbc51afcf995901f6ade7c3d503a25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 13:38:42 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] vt: fix race in vt_waitactive() pm_restore_console() is called from the suspend/resume path, and this calls vt_move_to_console(), which calls vt_waitactive(). There's a race in this path which causes the process which requests the suspend to sleep indefinitely waiting for an event which already happened: P1 P2 vt_move_to_console() set_console() schedule_console_callback() vt_waitactive() check n == fg_console +1 console_callback() switch_screen() vt_event_post() // no waiters vt_event_wait() // forever Fix the race by ensuring we're registered for the event before we check if it's already completed.
