Subject: [PATCH 1/8] drm/i915: Use preempt_disable/enable_rt() where recommended
From: Mike Galbraith <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2016 08:09:11 +0100

Mario Kleiner suggest in commit
  ad3543ede630f ("drm/intel: Push get_scanout_position() timestamping into kms driver.")

a spots where preemption should be disabled on PREEMPT_RT. The
difference is that on PREEMPT_RT the intel_uncore::lock disables neither
preemption nor interrupts and so region remains preemptible.

The area covers only register reads and writes. The part that worries me
is:
- __intel_get_crtc_scanline() the worst case is 100us if no match is
  found.

- intel_crtc_scanlines_since_frame_timestamp() not sure how long this
  may take in the worst case.

It was in the RT queue for a while and nobody complained.
Disable preemption on PREEPMPT_RT during timestamping.

[bigeasy: patch description.]
