From f7d87d26b4c9bfd083484542889f392867c1c85b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 20:13:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 063/323] blk-mq: Don't complete on a remote CPU in force threaded mode Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.204-rt100.tar.xz With force threaded interrupts enabled, raising softirq from an SMP function call will always result in waking the ksoftirqd thread. This is not optimal given that the thread runs at SCHED_OTHER priority. Completing the request in hard IRQ-context on PREEMPT_RT (which enforces the force threaded mode) is bad because the completion handler may acquire sleeping locks which violate the locking context. Disable request completing on a remote CPU in force threaded mode.
