From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2021 12:52:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] arm64/sve: Delay freeing memory in fpsimd_flush_thread() fpsimd_flush_thread() invokes kfree() via sve_free() within a preempt disabled section which is not working on -RT. Delay freeing of memory until preemption is enabled again.
