One additional question... What is your plan for kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n? After all, in such kernels, there is no way that I know of for code to determine whether it is in an RCU read-side critical section, holding a spinlock, or running with preemption disabled.
I'm not sure if Android (or all targetted) users use or care about this configuration (CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n), personally I think for such configuration we could just fall back to the workqueue approach all the time. Anyway, such optimization really comes from real workloads / experience, users don't live well without such mitigation. Thanks, Gao Xiang
Thanx, Paul
