Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC] blk-mq: Don't IPI requests on PREEMPT_RT

No idea how you could efficiently avoid smp_call_function_single_async():
- workqueue (okay)
- a timer_list timer which expires now. More code plus it may delay up
to HZ.
> Sebastian, would this solve your preempt-rt and lockdep issues?
the problem with that is that on RT/force-threaded it will always wake
ksoftirqd thread and complete there. That are extra steps which should
be probably avoided.
Now.
The hunk in blk_mq_complete_need_ipi() will avoid the waking a thread
with force-threaded enabled.
The remaining part is a switch to llist which avoids locking (IRQ
off/on) and it allows invoke the IPI/raise softirq only if something was
added. The entries are now processed in the reverse order but this
shouldn't matter right?
I would split this into two patches (the blk_mq_complete_need_ipi() hunk
and the llist part) unless there are objections.
