[PATCH v2] nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible

From: Tomas Glozar
Date: Wed Sep 20 2023 - 01:41:53 EST


nd_region_acquire_lane uses get_cpu, which disables preemption. This is
an issue on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since btt_write_pg and also
nd_region_acquire_lane itself take a spin lock, resulting in BUG:
sleeping function called from invalid context.

Fix the issue by replacing get_cpu with smp_process_id and
migrate_disable when needed. This makes BTT operations preemptible, thus
permitting the use of spin_lock.

BUG example occurring when running ndctl tests on PREEMPT_RT kernel:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at
kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 4903, name:
libndctl
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0
Preemption disabled at:
