Subject: [PATCH v9 15/30] drm/i915/gt: Use spin_lock_irq() instead of local_irq_disable() + spin_lock()
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 20:10:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622181044.39335-16-dev@lankhorst.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622181044.39335-1-dev@lankhorst.se>

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

execlists_dequeue() is invoked from a function which uses
local_irq_disable() to disable interrupts so the spin_lock() behaves
like spin_lock_irq().
This breaks PREEMPT_RT because local_irq_disable() + spin_lock() is not
the same as spin_lock_irq().

execlists_dequeue_irq() and execlists_dequeue() has each one caller
only. If intel_engine_cs::active::lock is acquired and released with the
_irq suffix then it behaves almost as if execlists_dequeue() would be
invoked with disabled interrupts. The difference is the last part of the
function which is then invoked with enabled interrupts.
I can't tell if this makes a difference. From looking at it, it might
work to move the last unlock at the end of the function as I didn't find
anything that would acquire the lock again.
