[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 20/21] spufs: Fix lost events in poll/epoll on mfc

[Jeremy Kerr]

From: Kazunori Asayama <asayama at sm.sony.co.jp>

When waiting for I/O events on mfc in an SPU context by using
poll/epoll syscalls, some of the events can be lost because of wrong
order of poll_wait and MFC status checks in the spufs_mfc_poll
function and non-atomic update of tagwait. Here is a patch to fix the
problem.
