[PATCH 3.16 112/157] trace: Fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.72-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d6097c9e4454adf1f8f2c9547c2fa6060d55d952 upstream.

Unless the very next line is schedule(), or implies it, one must not use
preempt_enable_no_resched(). It can cause a preemption to go missing and
thereby cause arbitrary delays, breaking the PREEMPT=y invariant.
