From 8b6312f4dcc1efe7975731b6c47dd134282bd9ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 01:44:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processing This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing. With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed. Cc: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Eric W.
