      netpoll: convert mutex into a semaphore · bd7c4b60
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Bart Van Assche recently reported a warning to me:
      
      <IRQ>  [<ffffffff8103d79f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0
      [<ffffffff8103d7fa>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20

      This resulted from my commit ca99ca14 which introduced a mutex_trylock
      operation in a path that could execute in interrupt context.  When mutex
      debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact
      exectuting in interrupt context
      interrupt context.
      
      After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use
      here.  While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such
      condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api
      calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).
