From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 17:16:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iommu/vt-d: don't disable preemption while accessing deferred_flush() Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.8/older/patches-4.8.14-rt9.tar.xz get_cpu() disables preemption and returns the current CPU number. The CPU number is later only used once while retrieving the address of the local's CPU deferred_flush pointer. We can instead use raw_cpu_ptr() while we remain preemptible. The worst thing that can happen is that flush_unmaps_timeout() is invoked multiple times: once by taskA after seeing HIGH_WATER_MARK and then preempted to another CPU and then by taskB which saw HIGH_WATER_MARK on the same CPU as taskA. It is also likely that ->size got from HIGH_WATER_MARK to 0 right after its read because another CPU invoked flush_unmaps_timeout() for this CPU. The access to flush_data is protected by a spinlock so even if we get migrated to another CPU or preempted - the data structure is protected. While at it, I marked deferred_flush static since I can't find a reference to it outside of this file.
