Subject: [PATCH/resend] softirq/preempt: add missing current->preempt_disable_ip update
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 10:04:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150107090441.GC4365@osiris> (raw)

While debugging some "sleeping function called from invalid context" bug I
realized that the debugging message "Preemption disabled at:" pointed to
an incorrect function.
In particular if the last function/action that disabled preemption was
spin_lock_bh() then current->preempt_disable_ip won't be updated.

The reason for this is that __local_bh_disable_ip() will increase
preempt_count manually instead of calling preempt_count_add(), which
would handle the update correctly.
It look like the manual handling was done to work around some lockdep issue.

So add the missing update of current->preempt_disable_ip to
__local_bh_disable_ip() as well.
