[PATCH net 2/2] bpf: Make sure bpf_disable_instrumentation() is safe vs preemption.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The initial implementation of migrate_disable() for mainline was a
wrapper around preempt_disable(). RT kernels substituted this with
a real migrate disable implementation.

Later on mainline gained true migrate disable support, but neither
documentation nor affected code were updated.

Remove stale comments claiming that migrate_disable() is PREEMPT_RT
only.
Don't use __this_cpu_inc() in the !PREEMPT_RT path because preemption is
not disabled and the RMW operation can be preempted.

Fixes: 74d862b682f51 ("sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT")
