From 2a90d4aae5509e9cf1ba848c5d0b3458201160a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 23:04:00 +0100 Subject: blk-mq: use get_cpu/put_cpu instead of preempt_disable/preempt_enable blk-mq is using preempt_disable/enable in order to ensure that the queue runners are placed on the right CPU. This does not work with the RT patches, because __blk_mq_run_hw_queue takes a non-raw spinlock with the preemption-disabled region. If there is contention on the lock, this violates the rules for preemption-disabled regions. While this should be easily fixable within the RT patches just by doing migrate_disable/enable, we can do better and document _why_ this particular region runs with disabled preemption. After the previous patch, it is trivial to switch it to get/put_cpu; the RT patches then can change it to get_cpu_light, which lets virtio-blk run under RT kernels.
