      [IA64] perfmon2 fasync fix · 6ba3093f
      Stéphane Eranian authored
      the pfm_fasync() function must not lock the context and mask interrupts
      because the fasync_helper() function may allocate memory and this could
      lead to sleeping, due to SLAB_KERNEL memory type, if no memory is available.
      Going to sleep with interrupts mask is not allowed otherwise you have a deadlock.
      The locking of the context is not necessary in this function because it is protected
      by caller via get_fd()/put_fd(). The async_queue is also protected. Serialization to
      pfm_fasync() is also ensured by caller. The fix is to drop the PROTECT_CTX()
      and UNPROTECT_CTX() calls.
