The patch titled
Subject: lib/irq_poll: Add local_bh_disable() in irq_poll_cpu_dead()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
lib-irq_poll-add-local_bh_disable-in-irq_poll_cpu_dead.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Subject: lib/irq_poll: Add local_bh_disable() 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.
