-Subject: [PATCH] sched,kvm: Fix KVM preempt_notifier usage
-
-The preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the addition of the
-static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption while modifying
-the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could observe an
-inconsistent list state.
-
-There is no reason to have preemption disabled in the caller,
-registering a preempt notifier is a purely task local affair.
-
-Therefore move the preempt_disable into the functions and change the
-callers to a preemptible context.
-
-Cc: Gleb Natapov <gleb@kernel.org>
-Fixes: 1cde2930e154 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")
-Reported-and-Tested-by: Pontus Fuchs <pontus.fuchs@gmail.com>
