[PATCH] irq_work: Make irq_work_queue_on() NMI-safe again

From: Jun Miao
Date: Wed Apr 27 2022 - 09:51:01 EST


We should not put NMI unsafe code in irq_work_queue_on().

The KASAN of kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() is not NMI safe. Because which
will call the spinlock. While the irq_work_queue_on() is also very carefully
carfted to be exactly that.
When unable CONFIG_SMP or local CPU, the irq_work_queue_on() is even same to
irq_work_queue(). So delete KASAN instantly.
