From: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.ibm.com> Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2024 00:53:06 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Large user copy aware of full:rt:lazy preemption Large user copy_to/from (more than 16 bytes) uses vmx instructions to speed things up. Once the copy is done, it makes sense to try schedule as soon as possible for preemptible kernels. So do this for preempt=full/lazy and rt kernel. Not checking for lazy bit here, since it could lead to unnecessary context switches.
