From 250a1ac685f147d4f4b2f132cfaffcce1a6792c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 08:48:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86, smpboot: Remove pointless preempt_disable() in native_smp_prepare_cpus() There is no reason to keep preemption disabled in this function. We only have two other threads live: kthreadd and idle. Neither of them is going to preempt. But that preempt_disable forces all the code inside to do GFP_ATOMIC allocations which is just insane. Remove it.
