[PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processing
This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing. With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
