From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 16:57:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ARM: vfp: Use vfp_lock() in vfp_sync_hwstate(). Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz vfp_sync_hwstate() uses preempt_disable() followed by local_bh_disable() to ensure that it won't get interrupted while checking the VFP state. This harms PREEMPT_RT because softirq handling can get preempted and local_bh_disable() synchronizes the related section with a sleeping lock which does not work with disabled preemption. Use the vfp_lock() to synchronize the access.
