From 01548f4d3e8e94caf323a4f664eb347fd34a34ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:09:42 +0200 Subject: clocksource: Avoid clocksource watchdog circular locking dependency stop_machine from a multithreaded workqueue is not allowed because of a circular locking dependency between cpu_down and the workqueue execution. Use a kernel thread to do the clocksource downgrade.
