From 8222dbe21e79338de92d5e1956cd1e3994cc9f93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 17:52:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/preempt, mm/fault: Decouple preemption from the page fault logic As the fault handlers now all rely on the pagefault_disabled() checks and implicit preempt_disable() calls by pagefault_disable() have been made explicit, we can completely rely on the pagefault_disableD counter. So let's no longer touch the preempt count when disabling/enabling pagefaults. After a call to pagefault_disable(), pagefault_disabled() will return true, but in_atomic() won't.
