mainlining shenanigans
ef1f4804b2
The general rule that rcu_read_lock() held sections cannot voluntary sleep does apply even on RT kernels. Though the substitution of spin/rw locks on RT enabled kernels has to be exempt from that rule. On !RT a spin_lock() can obviously nest inside a RCU read side critical section as the lock acquisition is not going to block, but on RT this is not longer the case due to the 'sleeping' spinlock substitution. The RT patches contained a cheap hack to ignore the RCU nesting depth in might_sleep() checks, which was a pragmatic but incorrect workaround. Instead of generally ignoring the RCU nesting depth in __might_sleep() and __might_resched() checks, pass the rcu_preempt_depth() via the offsets argument to __might_resched() from spin/read/write_lock() which makes the checks work correctly even in RCU read side critical sections. The actual blocking on such a substituted lock within a RCU read side critical section is already handled correctly in __schedule() by treating it as a "preemption" of the RCU read side critical section.

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.
