From a038e2536472b4dd932399b5277e65f188811de5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 12:09:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] blk_start_queue() must be called with irq disabled - add warning The queue lock can be taken from interrupts so it must always be taken with irq disabling primitives. Some primitives already verify this. blk_start_queue() is called under this lock, so interrupts must be disabled. Also document this requirement clearly in blk_init_queue(), where the queue spinlock is set.
