From 5a0874c1d16bf91b3bb0c8e07de688836f30a5af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2018 11:12:39 -0800 Subject: rcu: Remove preemption disabling from expedited CPU selection It turns out that it is queue_delayed_work_on() rather than queue_work_on() that has difficulties when used concurrently with CPU-hotplug removal operations. It is therefore unnecessary to protect CPU identification and queue_work_on() with preempt_disable(). This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus(), which has the further benefit of reducing the number of changes that must be maintained in the -rt patchset.
