[PATCH] drm/i915: Avoid potential sleep whilst holding spinlock

From: Chris Wilson
Date: Tue Oct 20 2009 - 12:30:35 EST


Miles Lane reported the following error:
2 locks held by cat/4179:
#0: (&p->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c10a3884>] seq_read+0x25/0x315

The fix is relatively simple, use the atomic variants of kmap() that
avoid the potential sleep.
