Subject[PATCH 7/7] mm/page_alloc: Replace local_lock with normal spinlock
Date
struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be
drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock
works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure
CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU
concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst)

local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is
accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption
point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node
and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin
the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT.

Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the
per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock
without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API
as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory,
the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was
demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee
that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use
get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid
accidentally allocating remote memory.
