RDS is calling set_page_dirty from interrupt context,
yikes. Whatever possessed you to try that?
When doing an RDMA read into pinned pages, we get notified the operation
is complete in a tasklet, and would like to mark the pages dirty and
unpin in the same context.
The issue was __set_page_dirty_buffers (via calling set_page_dirty) was
unconditionally re-enabling irqs as a side-effect because it was using
*_irq instead of *_irqsave/restore.
How would you recommend we proceed? My understanding was calling
set_page_dirty prior to issuing the operation isn't an option since it
might get cleaned too early.
