Subject[PREEMPT_RT] [PATCH 2/2] Use write_trylock_irqsave in ptrace_attach
Date
Hi Ingo,

This patch makes ptrace_attach() use the new API write_trylock_irqsave(). With
this, the code in ptrace_attach() will be same for mainline and -rt. On -rt,
write_trylock_irqsave() doesn't disable irqs and hence the problem is
avoided.
