Subject: [PATCH 192/353] workqueue: Prevent workqueue versus ata-piix livelock
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=b9576dddf691d00fbd07ff2e92b503f25c4c2d58
An Intel i7 system regularly detected rcu_preempt stalls after the kernel
was upgraded from 3.6-rt to 3.8-rt. When the stall happened, disk I/O was no
longer possible, unless the system was restarted.
The kernel message was:
INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU { 6}
[..]
NMI backtrace for cpu 6

Apparently, the softirq demon and the ata_piix IRQ handler were waiting
for each other to finish ending up in a livelock. After the below patch
was applied, the system no longer crashes.
