LoongArch: Prevent cond_resched() occurring within kernel-fpu
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is not configured (i.e. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE/
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY), preempt_disable() / preempt_enable() merely
acts as a barrier(). However, in these cases cond_resched() can still
trigger a context switch and modify the CSR.EUEN, resulting in do_fpu()
exception being activated within the kernel-fpu critical sections, as
demonstrated in the following path:

dcn32_calculate_wm_and_dlg()
    DC_FP_START()
	dcn32_calculate_wm_and_dlg_fpu()
	    dcn32_find_dummy_latency_index_for_fw_based_mclk_switch()
		dcn32_internal_validate_bw()
		    dcn32_enable_phantom_stream()
			dc_create_stream_for_sink()
			   kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
				__kmem_cache_alloc_node()
				    __cond_resched()
    DC_FP_END()

This patch is similar to commit d021985 (x86/fpu: Improve crypto
performance by making kernel-mode FPU reliably usable in softirqs).  It
uses local_bh_disable() instead of preempt_disable() for non-RT kernels
so it can avoid the cond_resched() issue, and also extend the kernel-fpu
application scenarios to the softirq context.
