If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior [ Upstream commit b901491e7b9b7a676818d84e482b69be72fc142f ] vmw_fifo_ping_host() disables preemption around a test and a register write via vmw_write(). The write function acquires a spinlock_t typed lock which is not allowed in a preempt_disable()ed section on PREEMPT_RT. This has been reported in the bugzilla. It has been explained by Thomas Hellstrom that this preempt_disable()ed section is not required for correctness. Remove the preempt_disable() section.
