Subject: [PATCH RT] sched/migrate_disable: fallback to preempt_disable() instead barrier()
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2018 17:50:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180705155034.s6q2lsqc3o7srzwp@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180704173519.GA24614@zipoli.concurrent-rt.com>

migrate_disable() does nothing !SMP && !RT. This is bad for two reasons:
- The futex code relies on the fact migrate_disable() is part of spin_lock().
  There is a workaround for the !in_atomic() case in migrate_disable() which
  work-arounds the different ordering (non-atomic lock and atomic unlock).

- we have a few instances where preempt_disable() is replaced with
  migrate_disable().

For both cases it is bad if migrate_disable() ends up as barrier() instead of
preempt_disable(). Let migrate_disable() fallback to preempt_disable().
