[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 14/18] powerpc/spufs: Fix gang deactivation when gang grows or shrinks

Andre Detsch adetsch at br.ibm.com
Thu Dec 11 06:40:45 EST 2008


The gang deactivation must be done in the same critical section
as the list_add/list_del operation, otherwise there is no guarantee
that the grow/shrink is correctly done.
