From abff55cee1039b5a3b96f7a5eb6e65b9f247a274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Battersby Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:24:13 -0700 Subject: epoll: don't use current in irq context ep_call_nested() (formerly ep_poll_safewake()) uses "current" (without dereferencing it) to detect callback recursion, but it may be called from irq context where the use of current is generally discouraged. It would be better to use get_cpu() and put_cpu() to detect the callback recursion.
