arm64: entry: Centralize preemption decision
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
For historical reasons, the decision of whether or not to preempt is
spread across arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() and __el1_irq(), and it would
be clearer if this were all in one place.

Also, arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() calls lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled(),
but this is redundant, as we have a subsequent identical assertion in
__exit_to_kernel_mode(), and preempt_schedule_irq() will
BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) anyway.

This patch removes the redundant assertion and centralizes the
preemption decision making within arm64_preempt_schedule_irq().

Other than the slight change to assertion behaviour, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.
