    [POWERPC] spufs: fix context destruction during psmap fault · d5883137
    Jeremy Kerr authored
    We have a small window where a spu context may be destroyed while
    we're servicing a page fault (from another thread) to the context's
    problem state mapping.
    
    After we up_read() the mmap_sem, it's possible that the context is
    destroyed by its owning thread, and so the later references to ctx
    are invalid. This can maifest as a deadlock on the (now free()-ed)
    context state mutex.
    
    This change adds a reference to the context before we release the
    mmap_sem, so that the context cannot be destroyed.
