From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2018 18:19:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 014/351] cgroup: use irqsave in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=4452139e74bc5b77978cf9d783bde7761584ba56 All callers of cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() acquire cgroup_rstat_lock either with spin_lock_irq() or spin_lock_irqsave(). cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() itself acquires cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock which is a raw_spin_lock. This lock is also acquired in cgroup_rstat_updated() in IRQ context and therefore requires _irqsave() locking suffix in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(). Since there is no difference between spin_lock_t and raw_spin_lock_t on !RT lockdep does not complain here. On RT lockdep complains because the interrupts were not disabled here and a deadlock is possible. Acquire the raw_spin_lock_t with disabled interrupts.
