From fea03cb40a15e3c6647c0927300202e062e6792a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 21:44:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] uml: avoid fixing faults while atomic Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take already taken spinlocks. Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed fault, so it's safe to behave this way. Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.
