[PATCH 1/8] mm: disable preemption in apply_to_pte_range

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Mar 27 2009 - 14:02:56 EST


From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>

Impact: bugfix

Lazy mmu mode needs preemption disabled, so if we're apply to
init_mm (which doesn't require any pte locks), then explicitly
disable preemption. (Do it unconditionally after checking we've
successfully done the allocation to simplify the error handling.)
