Subject: [PATCH 02/68] signal: Don't disable preemption in ptrace_stop() on
PREEMPT_RT.
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.1/older/patches-6.1.141-rt52.tar.xz
Commit
53da1d9456fe7 ("fix ptrace slowness")
is just band aid around the problem.
The invocation of do_notify_parent_cldstop() wakes the parent and makes
it runnable. The scheduler then wants to replace this still running task
with the parent. With the read_lock() acquired this is not possible
because preemption is disabled and so this is deferred until read_unlock().
This scheduling point is undesired and is avoided by disabling preemption
around the unlock operation enabled again before the schedule() invocation
without a preemption point.
This is only undesired because the parent sleeps a cycle in
wait_task_inactive() until the traced task leaves the run-queue in
schedule(). It is not a correctness issue, it is just band aid to avoid the
visbile delay which sums up over multiple invocations.
The task can still be preempted if an interrupt occurs between
preempt_enable_no_resched() and freezable_schedule() because on the IRQ-exit
path of the interrupt scheduling _will_ happen. This is ignored since it does
not happen very often.
On PREEMPT_RT keeping preemption disabled during the invocation of
cgroup_enter_frozen() becomes a problem because the function acquires
css_set_lock which is a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be
acquired with disabled preemption.
Don't disable preemption on PREEMPT_RT. Remove the TODO regarding adding
read_unlock_no_resched() as there is no need for it and will cause harm.
