From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2018 21:53:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 087/290] x86/mm/pat: disable preemption __split_large_page() after spin_lock() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=bfec83b70be39a512d8519c2bb34f4cb620cb6b3 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().
