[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/7] rcu: add rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate()

From: Menglong Dong
Date: Thu Aug 21 2025 - 05:09:26 EST


migrate_disable() is called to disable migration in the kernel, and it is
often used together with rcu_read_lock().

However, with PREEMPT_RCU disabled, it's unnecessary, as rcu_read_lock()
will always disable preemption, which will also disable migration.

Introduce rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate() and rcu_read_unlock_migrate(),
which will do the migration enable and disable only when PREEMPT_RCU.
