After commit 1cde2930e154 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers") is introduced, preempt_notifier_{register, unregister} always hold a mutex, jump_label_mutex. So in current case this shouldn't work further under the circumstance of disabled preemption, and its also safe since we're just handling a per-vcpu stuff with holding vcpu->mutex. Otherwise, some warning messages are posted like this, BUG: scheduling while atomic: qemu-system-x86/17177/0x00000002 2 locks held by qemu-system-x86/17177: #0: (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa035fb48>] vcpu_load+0x28/0xf0 [kvm] #1: (jump_label_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81244b54>] static_key_slow_inc+0xc4/0x140 Modules linked in: x86_pkg_temp_thermal kvm_intel kvm Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffffa035fd3e>] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x7e/0xeb0 [kvm] CPU: 2 PID: 17177 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Tainted: G W 4.1.0+ #30 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
