[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.9 03/15] padata: Disable BH when taking works lock on MT path

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun May 26 2024 - 05:42:29 EST


From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 58329c4312031603bb1786b44265c26d5065fe72 ]

As the old padata code can execute in softirq context, disable
softirqs for the new padata_do_mutithreaded code too as otherwise
lockdep will get antsy.
