Can't we do a preempt_disable before the if (local) check?. That way we
don't need that prempt_enable in that PAGE_SIZE==0x1000 path.We already
do disable/enable correctly in radix__flush_all_mm(mm)
Well this is just to fix the imbalance. Nested preempt doesn't matter
much, and these are all no-ops for !preempt kernel, unless you turn on
debugging.

But this patch is still doing the mm_is_thread_local() test outside preempt_disable() right?


I already proposed another patch to bring those local tests under
preempt disable but no response yet

That is a much better patch?
