+Subject: [PATCH 1/4] net: Remove conditional threaded-NAPI wakeup based on
+ task state.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+A NAPI thread is scheduled by first setting NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit. If
+successful (the bit was not yet set) then the NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED
+is set but only if thread's state is not TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE (is
+TASK_RUNNING) followed by task wakeup.
+
+If the task is idle (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) then the
+NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED bit is not set. The thread is no relying on
+the bit but always leaving the wait-loop after returning from schedule()
+because there must have been a wakeup.
+
+The smpboot-threads implementation for per-CPU threads requires an
+explicit condition and does not support "if we get out of schedule()
+then there must be something to do".
+
+Removing this optimisation simplifies the following integration.
+
+Set NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED unconditionally on wakeup and rely on it
+in the wait path by removing the `woken' condition.

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Only if perf_event::pending_sigtrap is zero, the irq_work accounted by
+increminging perf_event::nr_pending. The member perf_event::pending_addr
+might be overwritten by a subsequent event if the signal was not yet
+delivered and is expected. The irq_work will not be enqeueued again
+because it has a check to be only enqueued once.
+
+Move irq_work_queue() to where the counter is incremented and
+perf_event::pending_sigtrap is set to make it more obvious that the
+irq_work is scheduled once.

+The port lock is a spinlock_t which is becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.
+The driver splits the locking function into two parts: local_irq_save() and

+Subject: [PATCH 2/4] net: Allow to use SMP threads for backlog NAPI.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Backlog NAPI is a per-CPU NAPI struct only (with no device behind it)
+used by drivers which don't do NAPI them self, RPS and parts of the
+stack which need to avoid recursive deadlocks while processing a packet.
+
+The non-NAPI driver use the CPU local backlog NAPI. If RPS is enabled
+then a flow for the skb is computed and based on the flow the skb can be
+enqueued on a remote CPU. Scheduling/ raising the softirq (for backlog's
+NAPI) on the remote CPU isn't trivial because the softirq is only
+scheduled on the local CPU and performed after the hardirq is done.
+In order to schedule a softirq on the remote CPU, an IPI is sent to the
+remote CPU which schedules the backlog-NAPI on the then local CPU.
+
+On PREEMPT_RT interrupts are force-threaded. The soft interrupts are
+raised within the interrupt thread and processed after the interrupt
+handler completed still within the context of the interrupt thread. The
+softirq is handled in the context where it originated.
+
+With force-threaded interrupts enabled, ksoftirqd is woken up if a
+softirq is raised from hardirq context. This is the case if it is raised
+from an IPI. Additionally there is a warning on PREEMPT_RT if the
+softirq is raised from the idle thread.
+This was done for two reasons:
+- With threaded interrupts the processing should happen in thread
+  context (where it originated) and ksoftirqd is the only thread for
+  this context if raised from hardirq. Using the currently running task
+  instead would "punish" a random task.
+- Once ksoftirqd is active it consumes all further softirqs until it
+  stops running. This changed recently and is no longer the case.
+
+Instead of keeping the backlog NAPI in ksoftirqd (in force-threaded/
+PREEMPT_RT setups) I am proposing NAPI-threads for backlog.
+The "proper" setup with threaded-NAPI is not doable because the threads
+are not pinned to an individual CPU and can be modified by the user.
+Additionally a dummy network device would have to be assigned. Also
+CPU-hotplug has to be considered if additional CPUs show up.
+All this can be probably done/ solved but the smpboot-threads already
+provide this infrastructure.
+
+Sending UDP packets over loopback expects that the packet is processed
+within the call. Delaying it by handing it over to the thread hurts
+performance. It is not beneficial to the outcome if the context switch
+happens immediately after enqueue or after a while to process a few
+packets in a batch.
+There is no need to always use the thread if the backlog NAPI is
+requested on the local CPU. This restores the loopback throuput. The
+performance drops mostly to the same value after enabling RPS on the
+loopback comparing the IPI and the tread result.
+
+Create NAPI-threads for backlog if request during boot. The thread runs
+the inner loop from napi_threaded_poll(), the wait part is different. It
+checks for NAPI_STATE_SCHED (the backlog NAPI can not be disabled).
+
+The NAPI threads for backlog are optional, it has to be enabled via the boot
+argument "thread_backlog_napi". It is mandatory for PREEMPT_RT to avoid the
+wakeup of ksoftirqd from the IPI.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/4] perf: Enqueue SIGTRAP always via task_work.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+A signal is delivered by raising irq_work() which works from any context
+including NMI. irq_work() can be delayed if the architecture does not
+provide an interrupt vector. In order not to lose a signal, the signal
+is injected via task_work during event_sched_out().
+
+Instead going via irq_work, the signal could be added directly via
+task_work. The signal is sent to current and can be enqueued on its
+return path to userland instead of triggering irq_work. A dummy IRQ is
+required in the NMI case to ensure the task_work is handled before
+returning to user land. For this irq_work is used. An alternative would
+be just raising an interrupt like arch_send_call_function_single_ipi().
+
+During testing with `remove_on_exec' it become visible that the event
+can be enqueued via NMI during execve(). The task_work must not be kept
+because free_event() will complain later. Also the new task will not
+have a sighandler installed.
+
+Queue signal via task_work. Remove perf_event::pending_sigtrap and
+and use perf_event::pending_work instead. Raise irq_work in the NMI case
+for a dummy interrupt. Remove the task_work if the event is freed.

+
+The port lock is a spinlock_t which is becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.
+The driver splits the locking function into two parts: local_irq_save() and
+uart_port_lock() and this breaks PREEMPT_RT.
+
+Delay handling sysrq until port lock is dropped.
+Remove the special case in the console write routine an always use the

+Subject: [PATCH 3/4] net: Use backlog-NAPI to clean up the defer_list.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+The defer_list is a per-CPU list which is used to free skbs outside of
+the socket lock and on the CPU on which they have been allocated.
+The list is processed during NAPI callbacks so ideally the list is
+cleaned up.
+Should the amount of skbs on the list exceed a certain water mark then
+the softirq is triggered remotely on the target CPU by invoking a remote
+function call. The raise of the softirqs via a remote function call
+leads to waking the ksoftirqd on PREEMPT_RT which is undesired.
+The backlog-NAPI threads already provide the infrastructure which can be
+utilized to perform the cleanup of the defer_list.
+
+The NAPI state is updated with the input_pkt_queue.lock acquired. It
+order not to break the state, it is needed to also wake the backlog-NAPI
+thread with the lock held. This requires to acquire the use the lock in
+rps_lock_irq*() if the backlog-NAPI threads are used even with RPS
+disabled.
+
+Move the logic of remotely starting softirqs to clean up the defer_list
+into kick_defer_list_purge(). Make sure a lock is held in
+rps_lock_irq*() if backlog-NAPI threads are used. Schedule backlog-NAPI
+for defer_list cleanup if backlog-NAPI is available.

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+perf_swevent_get_recursion_context() is supposed to avoid recursion.
+This requires to remain on the same CPU in order to decrement/ increment
+the same counter. This is done by using preempt_disable(). Having
+preemption disabled while sending a signal leads to locking problems on
+PREEMPT_RT because sighand, a spinlock_t, becomes a sleeping lock.
+
+This callback runs in task context and currently delivers only a signal
+to "itself". Any kind of recusrion protection in this context is not
+required.
+
+Remove recursion protection in perf_pending_task().

+Another motivation is that non-finalized messages already might

 To avoid losing panic CPU messages, silence non-panic CPUs

+The port lock is a spinlock_t which is becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.
+The driver splits the locking function into two parts: local_irq_save() and

+Subject: [PATCH 4/4] net: Rename rps_lock to backlog_lock.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+The rps_lock.*() functions use the inner lock of a sk_buff_head for
+locking. This lock is used if RPS is enabled, otherwise the list is
+accessed lockless and disabling interrupts is enough for the
+synchronisation because it is only accessed CPU local. Not only the list
+is protected but also the NAPI state protected.
+With the addition of backlog threads, the lock is also needed because of
+the cross CPU access even without RPS. The clean up of the defer_list
+list is also done via backlog threads (if enabled).
+
+It has been suggested to rename the locking function since it is no
+longer just RPS.
+
+Rename the rps_lock*() functions to backlog_lock*().

+Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf: Split __perf_pending_irq() out of
+ perf_pending_irq()
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+perf_pending_irq() invokes perf_event_wakeup() and __perf_pending_irq().
+The former is in charge of waking any tasks which wait to be woken up
+while the latter disables perf-events.
+
+The irq_work perf_pending_irq(), while this an irq_work, the callback
+is invoked in thread context on PREEMPT_RT. This is needed because all
+the waking functions (wake_up_all(), kill_fasync()) acquire sleep locks
+which must not be used with disabled interrupts.
+Disabling events, as done by __perf_pending_irq(), expects a hardirq
+context and disabled interrupts. This requirement is not fulfilled on
+PREEMPT_RT.
+
+Split functionality based on perf_event::pending_disable into irq_work
+named `pending_disable_irq' and invoke it in hardirq context on
+PREEMPT_RT. Rename the split out callback to perf_pending_disable().

- in panic
-Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz
-
-Currently @suppress_panic_printk is checked along with
-non-matching @panic_cpu and current CPU. This works
-because @suppress_panic_printk is only set when
-panic_in_progress() is true.
-
-Rather than relying on the @suppress_panic_printk semantics,
-use the concise helper function other_cpu_in_progress(). The
-helper function exists to avoid open coding such tests.

+Subject: [PATCH 07/48] printk: Properly deal with nbcon consoles on seq init
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+If a non-boot console is registering and boot consoles exist, the
+consoles are flushed before being unregistered. This allows the
+non-boot console to continue where the boot console left off.
+
+If for whatever reason flushing fails, the lowest seq found from
+any of the enabled boot consoles is used. Until now con->seq was
+checked. However, if it is an nbcon boot console, the function
+nbcon_seq_read() must be used to read seq because con->seq is
+not updated for nbcon consoles.
+
+Check if it is an nbcon boot console and if so call
+nbcon_seq_read() to read seq.
+
+Also setup the nbcon sequence number and reset the legacy
+sequence number from register_console() (rather than in
+nbcon_init() and nbcon_seq_force()). This removes all legacy
+sequence handling from nbcon.c so the code is easier to follow
+and maintain.

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+The return value of write_atomic() does not provide any useful
+information. On the contrary, it makes things more complicated
+for the caller to appropriately deal with the information.
+
+Change write_atomic() to not have a return value. If the
+message did not get printed due to loss of ownership, the
+caller will notice this on its own. If ownership was not lost,
+it will be assumed that the driver successfully printed the
+message and the sequence number for that console will be
+incremented.

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+The port lock is a spinlock_t which is becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.
+The driver splits the locking function into two parts: local_irq_save() and
+uart_port_lock() and this breaks PREEMPT_RT.
+
+Delay handling sysrq until port lock is dropped.
+Remove the special case in the console write routine an always use the
+complete locking function.

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Console drivers typically must deal with access to the hardware
+via user input/output (such as an interactive login shell) and
+output of kernel messages via printk() calls.
+
+Follow-up commits require that the printk subsystem is able to
+synchronize with the driver. Require nbcon consoles to implement
+two new callbacks (device_lock(), device_unlock()) that will
+use whatever synchronization mechanism the driver is using for
+itself (for example, the port lock for uart serial consoles).

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Depending on if an nbcon console is registered, a driver may
+handle its internal locking differently. If a driver is holding
+its internal lock while the nbcon console is registered, there
+may be a risk that two different contexts access the hardware
+simultaneously without synchronization. (For example, if the
+printk subsystem invokes atomic printing while another driver
+context acquired the internal lock without considering the
+atomic console.)
+
+Use the driver synchronization while a registering nbcon console
+transitions to being registered. This guarantees that if the
+driver acquires its internal lock when the nbcon console was not
+registered, it will remain unregistered until that context
+releases the lock.

+It will be necessary at times for the uart nbcon console

+These are special cases such as the implementation of the

+ wrapper
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Currently the port->lock wrappers uart_port_lock(),
+uart_port_unlock() (and their variants) only lock/unlock
+the spin_lock.
+
+If the port is an nbcon console, the wrappers must also
+acquire/release the console and mark the region as unsafe. This
+allows general port->lock synchronization to be synchronized
+with the nbcon console ownership.
+
+Introduce a new struct nbcon_drvdata within struct console that
+provides the necessary components for the port lock wrappers to
+acquire the nbcon console and track its ownership.
+
+Also introduce uart_port_set_cons() as a wrapper to set @cons
+of a uart_port. The wrapper sets @cons under the port lock in
+order to prevent @cons from disappearing while another context
+owns the port lock via the port lock wrappers.
+
+Also cleanup the description of the console_srcu_read_flags()
+function. It is used by the port lock wrappers to ensure a
+console cannot be fully unregistered while another context
+owns the port lock via the port lock wrappers.

-Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz
-
-If a non-boot console is registering and boot consoles exist, the
-consoles are flushed before being unregistered. This allows the
-non-boot console to continue where the boot console left off.
-
-If for whatever reason flushing fails, the lowest seq found from
-any of the enabled boot consoles is used. Until now con->seq was
-checked. However, if it is an nbcon boot console, the function
-nbcon_seq_read() must be used to read seq because con->seq is
-always 0.
-
-Check if it is an nbcon boot console and if so call
-nbcon_seq_read() to read seq.

+Rather than relying on these as proxy headers, explicitly
+include all headers providing needed definitions. Also sort the

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+The struct eg20t_port has a spinlock_t which is used for locking while
+access I/O of the device. Then there is the uart_portlock which is
+sometimes and nests within eg20t_port's lock.
+
+The uart_port lock is not used while using the struct in
+pch_uart_hal_read() which might be okay. Then both locks are used in
+pch_console_write() which looks odd especially the double try_lock part.
+
+All in all it looks like the uart_port's lock could replace eg20t_port's
+lock and simplify the code.
+
+Remove eg20t_port::lock and use uart_port's lock for the lock scope.

+
+The port lock is a spinlock_t which is becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.
+The driver splits the locking function into two parts: local_irq_save() and
+uart_port_lock() and this breaks PREEMPT_RT.
+
+Delay handling sysrq until port lock is dropped.
+Remove the special case in the console write routine an always use the

-Currently the port->lock wrappers uart_port_lock(),
-uart_port_unlock() (and their variants) only lock/unlock
-the spin_lock.
-
-If the port is an nbcon console, the wrappers must also
-acquire/release the console and mark the region as unsafe. This
-allows general port->lock synchronization to be synchronized

-Console drivers need some mechanism to synchronize between "normal
-driver activity" and console printing. For uart serial drivers it
-is the port lock. Other types of console drivers (network,
-graphics, USB) will need something as well.
-
-Provide 2 new mandatory nbcon console callbacks (driver_enter and
-driver_exit) to allow the consoles drivers to implement the
-appropriate synchronization. The callbacks are also expected to
-disable/enable migration.

+will fully flush one console before flushing the next. This

+a stack trace in an emergency situation) can be printed
+atomically at once before releasing console ownership.

+nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() is safe in any context because it
+uses write_atomic() and acquires with unsafe_takeover disabled.

+Use it in console_flush_on_panic() before flushing legacy
+consoles. The legacy write() callbacks are not fully safe when
+oops_in_progress is set.

+
+Use the current state of the CPU to determine which priority to
+assign to the printing context.
+
+The EMERGENCY priority handling is added in a follow-up commit.
+It will use a per-CPU variable.
+
+Note: nbcon_driver_acquire(), which is used by console drivers

+
+Add nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe() to flush all nbcon consoles
+using the write_atomic() callback and allowing unsafe hostile
+takeovers. Call this at the end of panic() as a final attempt
+to flush any pending messages.
+
+Note that legacy consoles use unsafe methods for flushing
+from the beginning of panic (see bust_spinlocks()). Therefore,
+systems using both legacy and nbcon consoles may still fail to
+see panic messages due to unsafe legacy console usage.

 Currently the console lock is used to attempt legacy-type
 printing even if there are no legacy or boot consoles registered.
 If no such consoles are registered, the console lock does not
 need to be taken.
 
-Also, if boot consoles are registered, nbcon consoles must
-perform their atomic printing under the console lock in order
-to be synchronized with boot consoles.
-
 Add tracking of legacy console registration and use it with
 boot console tracking to avoid unnecessary code paths, i.e.
 do not use the console lock if there are no boot consoles

-
-Note: The uart_port wrapper, which is responsible for non-console-

-
-Add nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe() to flush all nbcon consoles
-using the write_atomic() callback and allowing unsafe hostile
-takeovers. Call this at the end of panic() as a final attempt
-to flush any pending messages.
-
-Note that legacy consoles use unsafe methods for flushing
-from the beginning of panic (see bust_spinlocks()). Therefore,
-systems using both legacy and nbcon consoles may still fail to
-see panic messages due to unsafe legacy console usage.

+Subject: [PATCH 32/48] lockdep: Mark emergency sections in lockdep splats
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Mark emergency sections wherever multiple lines of
+lock debugging output are generated. In an emergency
+section the CPU will not perform console output for the
+printk() calls. Instead, a flushing of the console
+output is triggered when exiting the emergency section.
+This allows the full message block to be stored as
+quickly as possible in the ringbuffer.

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
 
 Provide the main implementation for running a printer kthread
 per nbcon console that is takeover/handover aware.
 
-The main print function nbcon_emit_next_record() will generate
-a warning if a task other than the dedicated printer thread
-tries to print using write_thread().

+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+An emergency or panic context can takeover console ownership
+while the current owner was printing a printk message. The
+atomic printer will re-print the message that the previous
+owner was printing. However, this can look confusing to the
+user and may even seem as though a message was lost.
+
+  [3430014.1
+  [3430014.181123] usb 1-2: Product: USB Audio
+
+Add a new field @nbcon_prev_seq to struct console to track
+the sequence number to print that was assigned to the previous
+console owner. If this matches the sequence number to print
+that the current owner is assigned, then a takeover must have
+occurred. In this case, print an additional message to inform
+the user that the previous message is being printed again.

-Subject: [PATCH 48/50] printk: Add kthread for all legacy consoles
-Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz
+Subject: [PATCH 46/48] printk: Add kthread for all legacy consoles
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
 
-The write callback of legacy consoles make use of spinlocks.
+The write callback of legacy consoles makes use of spinlocks.
 This is not permitted with PREEMPT_RT in atomic contexts.
 
-Create a new kthread to handle printing of all the legacy
-consoles (and nbcon consoles if boot consoles are registered).
+For PREEMPT_RT, create a new kthread to handle printing of all
+the legacy consoles (and nbcon consoles if boot consoles are
+registered).
 
-Since the consoles are printing in a task context, it is no
-longer appropriate to support the legacy handover mechanism.
+Since, if running from the kthread, the consoles are printing
+in a task context, the legacy nbcon printing can use the
+device_lock(), write_thread(), device_unlock() callbacks for
+printing.
 
-These changes exist only for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
+Introduce the macro force_printkthreads() to query if the
+forced threading of legacy consoles is in effect.
+
+These changes only affect CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.

-Subject: [PATCH 46/50] serial: core: Provide low-level functions to port lock
-Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz
-
-The nbcon console's driver_enter() and driver_exit() callbacks need
-to lock the port lock in order to synchronize against other hardware
-activity (such as adjusting baud rates). However, they cannot use
-the uart_port_lock() wrappers because the printk subsystem will
-perform nbcon locking after calling the driver_enter() callback.
-
-Provide low-level variants __uart_port_lock_irqsave() and
-__uart_port_unlock_irqrestore() for this purpose. These are only
-to be used by the driver_enter()/driver_exit() callbacks.

+Subject: [PATCH 47/48] printk: Provide threadprintk boot argument
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+For PREEMPT_RT, legacy console printing is performed in a dedicated
+kthread. However, this behavior can also be interesting for other
+preemption models as it minimizes the duration of printk() calls by
+deferring all printing.
+
+Provide a new boot argument "threadprintk" that will create the
+dedicated kthread for legacy console printing for !PREEMPT_RT
+systems.
+
+The implementation is the same as "threadirqs" boot argument.
+
+Users should be aware that if this option is enabled, the shutdown,
+reboot, and panic messages probably will not be visible on the
+legacy consoles.
+
+Non-legacy consoles (NBCON) already have their own dedicated kernel
+threads for printing and reliable shutdown, reboot, and panic
+printing. This option really only applies to legacy consoles.
+
+Users can view /proc/consoles to see if their console driver is
+legacy or not. NBCON console drivers are shown with 'N'.

+ printing
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Legacy console printing from printk() caller context may invoke
+the console driver from atomic context. This leads to a lockdep
+splat because the console driver will acquire a sleeping lock
+and the caller may already hold a spinning lock. This is noticed
+by lockdep on !PREEMPT_RT configurations because it will lead to
+a problem on PREEMPT_RT.
+
+However, on PREEMPT_RT the printing path from atomic context is
+always avoided and the console driver is always invoked from a
+dedicated thread. Thus the lockdep splat on !PREEMPT_RT is a
+false positive.
+
+For !PREEMPT_RT override the lock-context before invoking the
+console driver to avoid the false positive.
+
+Do not override the lock-context for PREEMPT_RT in order to
+allow lockdep to catch any real locking context issues related
+to the write callback usage.

+ enabled.
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+gup_pgd_range() is invoked with disabled interrupts and invokes
+__kmap_local_page_prot() via pte_offset_map(), gup_p4d_range().
+With HIGHPTE enabled, __kmap_local_page_prot() invokes kmap_high_get()
+which uses a spinlock_t via lock_kmap_any(). This leads to an
+sleeping-while-atomic error on PREEMPT_RT because spinlock_t becomes a
+sleeping lock and must not be acquired in atomic context.
+
+The loop in map_new_virtual() uses wait_queue_head_t for wake up which
+also is using a spinlock_t.
+
+Limit HAVE_FAST_GUP additionaly to remain disabled on PREEMPT_RT with
+HIGHPTE enabled.

-
-skb_attempt_defer_free() collects a skbs, which was allocated on a
-remote CPU, on a per-CPU list. These skbs are either freed on that
-remote CPU once the CPU enters NET_RX or an remote IPI function is
-invoked in to raise the NET_RX softirq if a threshold of pending skb has
-been exceeded.
-This remote IPI can cause the wakeup of ksoftirqd on PREEMPT_RT if the
-remote CPU idle was idle. This is undesired because once the ksoftirqd
-is running it will acquire all pending softirqs and they will not be
-executed as part of the threaded interrupt until ksoftird goes idle
-again.
-
-To void all this, schedule the deferred clean up from a worker.
