From c2aef333c98b41eeb0f0d55b7faa7d4625a6160b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Menage Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:40:11 -0700 Subject: Reduce cpuset.c write_lock_irq() to read_lock() cpuset.c:update_nodemask() uses a write_lock_irq() on tasklist_lock to block concurrent forks; a read_lock() suffices and is less intrusive.
