    libnvdimm: band aid btt vs clear poison locking · 5b750d3c
    Dan Williams authored
    commit 4aa5615e upstream.
    
    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

    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().
