Probably unnecessary but wanted to underscore that irqentry_exit_allow_resched()
handled a separate user path.

Right, so:

CONFIG_PREEMPTION: raw_foo()
CONFIG_PREEMPTION && (preempt_dynamic_mode == preempt_dynamic_full): raw_foo()

This is NOP if CONFIG_PREEMPTION && preempt_dynamic_mode != preempt_dynamic_full.

So I would call raw_foo() for the CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n case.

I don't see that. The CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n (or its dynamic version)
is being handled here.

Ignoring the RT case, preempt_model_preemptible() is either:
   IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT)
or:
   preempt_dynamic_mode == preempt_dynamic_full

So, I'm handling both the static and the dynamic case here.

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPTION))
   raw_foo()
or
if (preempt_dynamic_mode != preempt_dynamic_full)
   raw_foo()

I don't disagree. There's a quite a lot of static/dynamic config options
here and adding this clause didn't improve things.

I think just going with a static call here for the allow-resched case
might have been cleaner. Alternately I'll see if it can be cleanly
folded in with the irqentry_exit_cond_resched() logic.

Yeah you are right. I added the SC:irqentry_exit_allow_resched
prematurely. Will fix.

Thanks for the detailed comments.
