[PATCH v5 32/35] mm, slub: make slab_lock() disable irqs with PREEMPT_RT

From: Vlastimil Babka <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-23 15:01:09
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

We need to disable irqs around slab_lock() (a bit spinlock) to make it
irq-safe. The calls to slab_lock() are nested under spin_lock_irqsave() which
doesn't disable irqs on PREEMPT_RT, so add explicit disabling with PREEMPT_RT.

We also distinguish cmpxchg_double_slab() where we do the disabling explicitly
and __cmpxchg_double_slab() for contexts with already disabled irqs.  However
these context are also typically spin_lock_irqsave() thus insufficient on
PREEMPT_RT. Thus, change __cmpxchg_double_slab() to be same as
cmpxchg_double_slab() on PREEMPT_RT.
