Jan Kara 5fc4cbd9fd mbcache: Avoid nesting of cache->c_list_lock under bit locks 
Commit 307af6c879 ("mbcache: automatically delete entries from cache
on freeing") started nesting cache->c_list_lock under the bit locks
protecting hash buckets of the mbcache hash table in
mb_cache_entry_create(). This causes problems for real-time kernels
because there spinlocks are sleeping locks while bitlocks stay atomic.
Luckily the nesting is easy to avoid by holding entry reference until
the entry is added to the LRU list. This makes sure we cannot race with
entry deletion.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
