We currently have a race for a free SPE. With one thread doing a spu_yield(), and another doing a spu_activate(): thread 1 thread 2 spu_yield(oldctx) spu_activate(ctx) __spu_deactivate(oldctx) spu_unschedule(oldctx, spu) spu->alloc_state = SPU_FREE spu = spu_get_idle(ctx) - searches for a SPE in state SPU_FREE, gets the context just freed by thread 1 spu_schedule(ctx, spu) spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED spu_schedule(newctx, spu) - assumes spu is still free - tries to schedule context on already-used spu This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the context. We only set this flag if we're not going to re-schedule another context on this SPU. Add a comment to document this behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
