From b4f3b7b71489dc254a0dce8c60fb867a3de2e499 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:44:27 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fs: namespace preemption fix On RT we cannot loop with preemption disabled here as mnt_make_readonly() might have been preempted. We can safely enable preemption while waiting for MNT_WRITE_HOLD to be cleared. Safe on !RT as well.
