Subject: [PATCH 7/8] refscale: Do not diable interrupts for tests involving local_bh_enable()
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2025 14:49:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251102224948.3906224-7-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <19fae851-0c49-43d2-9bbf-913424641ff4@paulmck-laptop>
Some kernel configurations prohibit invoking local_bh_enable() while
interrupts are disabled. However, refscale disables interrupts to reduce
OS noise during the tests, which results in splats. This commit therefore
adds an ->enable_irqs flag to the ref_scale_ops structure, and refrains
from disabling interrupts when that flag is set. This flag is set for
the "bh" and "incpercpubh" scale_type module-parameter values.
