[PATCH 00/11] Refcounted interrupt disable and SpinLockIrq for rust (Part 1)
From: Boqun Feng
Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 00:21:44 EST
Hi Peter,
This is a follow-up for Lyude's work [1]. Per your feedback at [2], I
did some digging and turned out that ARM64 already kinda did this. The
basic idea is based on:
1) preempt_count() previously mask our NEED_RESCHED bit, so the
effective bits is 31bits
2) with a 64bit preempt count implementation (as in your PREEMPT_LONG
proposal), the effective bits that record "whether we CAN preempt or
not" still fit in 32bit (i.e. an int)
as a result, I don't think we need to change the existing
preempt_count() API, but rather keep "32bit vs 64bit" as an
implementation detail. This saves us the need to change the printk code
for preempt_count().
For people who have reviewed the previous version, patch 8-11 are new,
please take a look.
The patchset passed the build and booting tests and also a "perf record"
test on x86 for NMI code path.
I would like to target this changes for 7.2 if possible.

preempt: Introduce HARDIRQ_DISABLE_BITS
preempt: Introduce __preempt_count_{sub, add}_return()
irq & spin_lock: Add counted interrupt disabling/enabling
locking: Switch to _irq_{disable,enable}() variants in cleanup guards
sched: Remove the unused preempt_offset parameter of __cant_sleep()
sched: Avoid signed comparison of preempt_count() in __cant_migrate()
preempt: Introduce PREEMPT_COUNT_64BIT
arm64: sched/preempt: Enable PREEMPT_COUNT_64BIT
