[PATCH RT 11/13] x86/mm/pat: disable preemption __split_large_page() after spin_lock()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Jan 07 2019 - 14:54:07 EST


4.14.87-rt50-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 45c6ff4811878e5c1c2ae31303cd95cdc6ae2ab4 ]

Commit "x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()" added a
warning if __flush_tlb_all() is invoked in preemptible context. On !RT
the warning does not trigger because a spin lock is acquired which
disables preemption. On RT the spin lock does not disable preemption and
so the warning is seen.

Disable preemption to avoid the warning __flush_tlb_all().
