Subject: [PATCH v13 02/17] preempt: Reduce NMI_MASK to single bit and restore HARDIRQ_BITS
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:48:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013155205.2004838-3-lyude@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251013155205.2004838-1-lyude@redhat.com>
From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Now that NMI nesting is tracked in a separate per-CPU variable
(nmi_nesting), we no longer need multiple bits in preempt_count
for NMI tracking. Reduce NMI_BITS from 3 to 1, using it only to
detect if we're in an NMI.
