Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc: Large user copy aware of full:rt:lazy preemption
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2024 00:53:06 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241116192306.88217-3-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241116192306.88217-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>

Large user copy_to/from (more than 16 bytes) uses vmx instructions to 
speed things up. Once the copy is done, it makes sense to try schedule 
as soon as possible for preemptible kernels. So do this for 
preempt=full/lazy and rt kernel. 

Not checking for lazy bit here, since it could lead to unnecessary 
context switches.
