On systems that run FIFO:1 applications that busy loop on isolated CPUs, executing tasks on such CPUs under lower priority is undesired (since that will either hang the system, or cause longer interruption to the FIFO task due to execution of lower priority task with very small sched slices). Commit d479960e44f27e0e52ba31b21740b703c538027c ("mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration temporarily") relies on queueing work items on all online CPUs to ensure visibility of lru_disable_count. However, its possible to use synchronize_rcu which will provide the same guarantees: * synchronize_rcu() waits for preemption disabled * and RCU read side critical sections * For the users of lru_disable_count: * * preempt_disable, local_irq_disable() [bh_lru_lock()] * rcu_read_lock [lru_pvecs CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT] * preempt_disable [lru_pvecs !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT] * * * so any calls of lru_cache_disabled wrapped by * local_lock+rcu_read_lock or preemption disabled would be * ordered by that.
