Tom 1e2e3eed62 Kernel: Fix a few deadlocks with Thread::m_lock and g_scheduler_lock
g_scheduler_lock cannot safely be acquired after Thread::m_lock
because another processor may already hold g_scheduler_lock and wait
for the same Thread::m_lock.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Travis CI status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
