svc_xprt_enqueue() disables preemption via get_cpu() and then asks for a pool of a specific CPU (current) via svc_pool_for_cpu(). While preemption is disabled, svc_xprt_enqueue() acquires svc_pool::sp_lock with bottom-halfs disabled, which can sleep on PREEMPT_RT. Disabling preemption is not required here. The pool is protected with a lock so the following list access is safe even cross-CPU. The following iteration through svc_pool::sp_all_threads is under RCU-readlock and remaining operations within the loop are atomic and do not rely on disabled-preemption. Use raw_smp_processor_id() as the argument for the requested CPU in svc_pool_for_cpu().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
