[PATCH v2] smp: Wake ksoftirqd on PREEMPT_RT instead do_softirq().

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Mon Sep 27 2021 - 03:38:27 EST


The softirq implementation on PREEMPT_RT does not provide do_softirq().
The other user of do_softirq() is replaced with a local_bh_disable()
+ enable() around the possible raise-softirq invocation. This can not be
done here because migration_cpu_stop() is invoked with disabled
preemption.

Wake the softirq thread on PREEMPT_RT if there are any pending softirqs.
