From 5b20192727ef2c047343a043ee4fbda67e2beef4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Waychison Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 02:36:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Fix a race in the free_iommu path We do this by removing a micro-optimization that tries to avoid grabbing the iommu_bitmap_lock spinlock and using a bus-locked operation. This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size > 1) which both use bus-unlocked operations. The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.
