Subject: [PATCH 5/5 v2] x86/asm/entry/64: simplify looping around preempt_schedule_irq
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 12:33:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427797998-7357-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427738975-7391-6-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com>
At this label, we test whether interrupt/exception was in kernel.
If it did, we jump to preemption check. If preemption does happen
(IOW if we call preempt_schedule_irq), we go back to exit_intr.
But it's pointless, we already know that test succeeded last time,
preemption doesn't change the fact that interrupt/exception
was in kernel. We can go back directly to checking
PER_CPU_VAR(__preempt_count) instead.
This makes exit_intr label unused. Dropping it.
