| |
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org>
commit 45e0fffc8a7778282e6a1514a6ae3e7ae6545111 upstream.
Move CLOCK_DISPATCH(which_clock, timer_create, (new_timer)) after all posible EFAULT erros.
*_timer_create may allocate/get resources. (for example posix_cpu_timer_create does get_task_struct)
[ tglx: fold the remove crappy comment patch into this ]
