Subject: [PATCH-next v3] mm/memcg: Properly handle memcg_stock access for PREEMPT_RT
Date:   Tue, 14 Dec 2021 09:44:12 -0500
Message-Id: <20211214144412.447035-1-longman@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

Direct calls to local_irq_{save/restore}() and preempt_{enable/disable}()
are not appropriate for PREEMPT_RT. To provide better PREEMPT_RT support,
change local_irq_{save/restore}() to local_lock_irq{save/restore}() and
add a local_lock_t to struct memcg_stock_pcp to cover the whole
structure including the embedded obj_stock structures.

Also disable the task and interrupt context optimization for obj_stock as
there will be no performance gain in the case of PREEMPT_RT. In this case,
task obj_stock will be there but remain unused and preempt_{enable/disable}()
will not be called for PREEMPT_RT.

Note that preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() in get_obj_stock() and
put_obj_stock() are not replaced by local_lock() and local_unlock() as it
is possible that a task accessing task_obj may get interrupted and then
access irq_obj concurrently. So using local_lock for task_obj access
may cause lockdep splat. Using separate local locks will complicate the
interaction between obj_stock and the embedding memcg_stock_pcp
structures.
