This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sched: Avoid double preemption in __cond_resched_*lock*() to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sched-avoid-double-preemption-in-__cond_resched_-loc.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8ade2947a85c9efba8d39ab33e031bd80add8278 Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Dec 25 01:04:57 2021 +0100 sched: Avoid double preemption in __cond_resched_*lock*() [ Upstream commit 7e406d1ff39b8ee574036418a5043c86723170cf ] For PREEMPT/DYNAMIC_PREEMPT the *_unlock() will already trigger a preemption, no point in then calling preempt_schedule_common() *again*. Use _cond_resched() instead, since this is a NOP for the preemptible configs while it provide a preemption point for the others.
