SubjectFix for genalloc locking
Hi,

I hit a little problem while using genalloc with a mix
of interrupt/non-interrupt context. I believe the correct
fix is to replace the locking calls with the _irqsave/_irqrestore
variants. Patch follows.

Is this correct?

BTW, is there any documentation on the Lockdep warnings?
What exactly is the meaning of {--+.} in

(&pool->lock){--+.}, at: [<c0125d1c>] gen_pool_free+0x34/0x120


Kind regards,

Iwo
