From 7ffc9ec8eac196cbd85669a4d7920cd80f186a51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2021 13:38:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kvfree_rcu: Make krc_this_cpu_unlock() use raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() The krc_this_cpu_unlock() function does a raw_spin_unlock() immediately followed by a local_irq_restore(). This commit saves a line of code by merging them into a raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(). This transformation also reduces scheduling latency because raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() responds immediately to a reschedule request. In contrast, local_irq_restore() does a scheduling-oblivious enabling of interrupts. Reported-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Signed-off-by: Paul E.
