Subject: [PATCH RT 6/8] drm/vmwgfx: Drop preempt_disable() in vmw_fifo_ping_host()
Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2020 13:40:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200306184052.697292686@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200306184035.948924528@goodmis.org

4.19.106-rt45-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit b901491e7b9b7a676818d84e482b69be72fc142f ]

vmw_fifo_ping_host() disables preemption around a test and a register
write via vmw_write(). The write function acquires a spinlock_t typed
lock which is not allowed in a preempt_disable()ed section on
PREEMPT_RT. This has been reported in the bugzilla.

It has been explained by Thomas Hellstrom that this preempt_disable()ed
section is not required for correctness.

Remove the preempt_disable() section.
