Subject: flex_proportions: Disable preemption entering the write section.
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9458e0a78c45bc6537ce11eb9f03489eab92f9c2;p=linux.git

flex_proportions: Disable preemption entering the write section.

The seqcount fprop_global::sequence is not associated with a lock. The
write section (fprop_new_period()) is invoked from a timer and since the
softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT it is possible to preempt the write
section which is not desited.

Disable preemption around the write section on PREEMPT_RT.
