write_lock migrate_disable pushdown to rt_write_lock
pushdown of migrate_disable/enable from write_*lock* to the rt_write_*lock* api level general mapping of write_*lock* to mutexes: write_*lock* `-> rt_write_*lock* `-> __spin_lock (the sleeping __spin_lock) `-> rt_mutex write_*lock*s are non-recursive so we have two lock chains to consider - write_trylock*/write_unlock - write_lock*/wirte_unlock for both paths the migration_disable/enable must be balanced. write_trylock* mapping: write_trylock_irqsave `-> rt_write_trylock_irqsave write_trylock \ `--------> rt_write_trylock ret = rt_mutex_trylock rt_mutex_fasttrylock rt_mutex_cmpxchg if (ret) migrate_disable write_lock* mapping: write_lock_irqsave `-> rt_write_lock_irqsave write_lock_irq -> write_lock ----. \ write_lock_bh -+ \ `-> rt_write_lock __rt_spin_lock() rt_spin_lock_fastlock() rt_mutex_cmpxchg() migrate_disable() write_unlock* mapping: write_unlock_irqrestore. write_unlock_bh -------+ write_unlock_irq -> write_unlock ----------+ `-> rt_write_unlock() __rt_spin_unlock() rt_spin_lock_fastunlock() rt_mutex_cmpxchg() migrate_enable() So calls to migrate_disable/enable() are better placed at the rt_write_* level of lock/trylock/unlock as all of the write_*lock* API has this as a common path. This approach to write_*_bh also eliminates the concerns raised with regards to api inbalances (write_lock_bh -> write_unlock+local_bh_enable) Tested-by: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <der.herr@hofr.at> Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
