[PATCH RT v2] x86/mm/pat: disable preemption __split_large_page() after spin_lock()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Thu Dec 13 2018 - 15:37:51 EST


Commit "x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()" added a
warning if __flush_tlb_all() is invoked in preemptible context. On !RT
the warning does not trigger because a spin lock is acquired which
disables preemption. On RT the spin lock does not disable preemption and
so the warning is seen.

Disable preemption to avoid the warning __flush_tlb_all().
