[PATCH v2 0/6] sched: dynamic: Simplify PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
From: Mark Rutland
Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 15:25:37 EST
All architectures which currently suppoort PREEMPT_DYNAMIC select
ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY. On architectures which select
ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY, it has not been possible to select the NONE and
VOLUNTARY preemption models since v7.0 due to commit:
7dadeaa6e851 ("sched: Further restrict the preemption modes")
Hence in practice PREEMPT_DYNAMIC no longer supports the NONE or
VOLUNTARY preemption models.
This series makes the de-facto situation official by making
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC depend on ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY, and removing redundant
code.
Since v1, I've had to rebase atop v7.2-rc4 to avoid a conflict with
commit:
a2c02aa0c6ca ("powerpc: Remove dead non-preemption code")
Given this is now late in the cycle, and given the tip:sched/core branch
is based on v7.2-rc1, I suspect tip folk might not want to queue this
now. Please let me know what you'd prefer; I'm happy to rebase and
resend after v7.3-rc1.
Since v1:
* Rebase to v7.2-rc4
* Apply Revied-by tags.
* Fix typos in commit messages.
* Add patch to cleanup accessors (per Shrikanth's comment)
Mark.
