[PATCH v2 0/2] arm64: Only call into preempt_schedule() if need_resched()

[Will Deacon]

Hi all,

This is version two of the patches I originally posted here:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1543347902-21170-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@xxxxxxx

The only change since v1 is that  __preempt_count_dec_and_test() now
reloads the need_resched flag if it initially saw that it was set. This
resolves the issue spotted by Peter, where an IRQ coming in during the
decrement can cause a reschedule to be missed.

Feedback welcome.

Will
