Subject[PATCH v2] libnvdimm: fix btt vs clear poison locking
From
Date
The following warning results from holding a lane spinlock,
preempt_disable(), or the btt map spinlock and then trying to take the
reconfig_mutex to walk the poison list and potentially add new entries.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:747
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 17159, name: dd
[..]

As a minimal fix, disable error clearing when the BTT is enabled for the
namespace. For the final fix a larger rework of the poison list locking
is needed.

Note that this is not a problem in the blk case since that path never
calls nvdimm_clear_poison().
