From 009f60e2763568cdcd75bd1cf360c7c7165e2e60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2014 22:23:22 +0200 Subject: sched: stop the unbound recursion in preempt_schedule_context() preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again. 1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched() by hand. 2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case we need to move into sched/core.c. 3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match preempt_schedule().
