Subject: stomp_machine: Use mutex_trylock when called from inactive cpu From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2012 17:21:53 +0100 If the stop machinery is called from inactive CPU we cannot use mutex_lock, because some other stomp machine invokation might be in progress and the mutex can be contended. We cannot schedule from this context, so trylock and loop.
