powerpc/spufs: Fix race for a free SPU
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.
