sparc32: mm: Disable SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS
The SRMMU page-table allocator is not compatible with SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS for two major reasons: 1. Pages are allocated via memblock, and therefore the ptl is not cleared by prep_new_page(), which is expected by ptlock_init() 2. Multiple PTE tables can exist in a single page, causing them to share the same ptl and deadlock when attempting to take the same lock twice (e.g. as part of copy_page_range()). Ensure that SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS is not selected for SPARC32. Cc: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
