Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/pat: disable preemption __split_large_page() after
 spin_lock()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.25-rt16.tar.xz

Commit "x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()" added a
warning if __flush_tlb_all() is invoked in preemptible context. On !RT
the warning does not trigger because a spin lock is acquired which
disables preemption. On RT the spin lock does not disable preemption and
so the warning is seen.

Disable preemption to avoid the warning __flush_tlb_all().
