Sebastian Andrzej Siewior aaffaa8a3b iommu/iova: Don't disable preempt around this_cpu_ptr()
Commit 583248e662 ("iommu/iova: Disable preemption around use of
this_cpu_ptr()") disables preemption while accessing a per-CPU variable.
This does keep lockdep quiet. However I don't see the point why it is
bad if we get migrated after its access to another CPU.
__iova_rcache_insert() and __iova_rcache_get() immediately locks the
variable after obtaining it - before accessing its members.
_If_ we get migrated away after retrieving the address of cpu_rcache
before taking the lock then the *other* task on the same CPU will
retrieve the same address of cpu_rcache and will spin on the lock.

alloc_iova_fast() disables preemption while invoking
free_cpu_cached_iovas() on each CPU. The function itself uses
per_cpu_ptr() which does not trigger a warning (like this_cpu_ptr()
does). It _could_ make sense to use get_online_cpus() instead but the we
have a hotplug notifier for CPU down (and none for up) so we are good.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
