powerpc/ppc64: Use preempt_schedule_irq instead of preempt_schedule
Based on an original patch by Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com> Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources. This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that to avoid unrecoverable exceptions. This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered and has to be restored in both cases. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
