    Fix blk race condition · 3b9c57f0
    Kevin Peng authored
    In the blk driver, the process goes to sleep while waiting for the blk
    driver to finish. However, it is possible for the kernel to attempt to
    wake up the process before it actually goes to sleep, leading the the
    process getting stuck in the sleep state. When there are multiple
    processors running, this bug regularly manifests here
    
      while(owned_buf->disk == 1) {
        sleep((void *)owned_buf, &blk_lock);
      }
    
    To fix this, the kernel will now acquire the blk_lock when handling
    a blk interrupt.
