[PATCH 2/3] x86/fpu: Make FPU protection reuse common helper

Valentin Schneider valentin.schneider at arm.com
Thu Jul 22 10:51:56 PDT 2021


The newly-introduced preempt_{enable, disable}_bh() helpers are an exact
stand-in for fpregs_{lock, unlock}(). Use them there.

No change in behaviour intended.
