Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 75d8cce128 lib/irq_poll: Prevent softirq pending leak in irq_poll_cpu_dead()
irq_poll_cpu_dead() pulls the blk_cpu_iopoll backlog from the dead CPU and
raises the POLL softirq with __raise_softirq_irqoff() on the CPU it is
running on. That just sets the bit in the pending softirq mask.

This means the handling of the softirq is delayed until the next interrupt
or a local_bh_disable/enable() pair. As a consequence the CPU on which this
code runs can reach idle with the POLL softirq pending, which triggers a
warning in the NOHZ idle code.

Add a local_bh_disable/enable() pair around the interrupts disabled section
in irq_poll_cpu_dead(). local_bh_enable will handle the pending softirq.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
