From 9446868b5383eb87f76b2d4389dea4bb968a6657 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 16:57:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86-64: Fix race in exit_idle When another interrupt happens in exit_idle the exit idle notifier could be called an incorrect number of times. Add a test_and_clear_bit_pda and use it handle the bit atomically against interrupts to avoid this.
