3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Anton Blanchard <an...@samba.org>
commit 0b17ba7258db83cd02da560884e053b85de371f2 upstream.
Commit f948501b36c6 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.
The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
nothing.
This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
too.
