block: Shorten interrupt disabled regions
Commit 9c40cef2b799 ("sched: Move blk_schedule_flush_plug() out of __schedule()") moved the blk_schedule_flush_plug() call out of the interrupt/preempt disabled region in the scheduler. This allows to replace local_irq_save/restore(flags) by local_irq_disable/enable() in blk_flush_plug_list(). But it makes more sense to disable interrupts explicitly when the request queue is locked end reenable them when the request to is unlocked. This shortens the interrupt disabled section which is important when the plug list contains requests for more than one queue. The comment which claims that disabling interrupts around the loop is misleading as the called functions can reenable interrupts unconditionally anyway and obfuscates the scope badly: local_irq_save(flags); spin_lock(q->queue_lock); ... queue_unplugged(q...); scsi_request_fn(); spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock); -------------------^^^ ???? spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock); spin_unlock(q->queue_lock); local_irq_restore(flags); Aside of that the detached interrupt disabling is a constant pain for PREEMPT_RT as it requires patching and special casing when RT is enabled while with the spin_*_irq() variants this happens automatically.
