f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 617 * In most situations, rcu_read_unlock() is immune from deadlock.
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 618 * However, in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST, rcu_read_unlock()
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 619 * is responsible for deboosting, which it does via rt_mutex_unlock().
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 620 * Unfortunately, this function acquires the scheduler's runqueue and
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 621 * priority-inheritance spinlocks. This means that deadlock could result
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 622 * if the caller of rcu_read_unlock() already holds one of these locks or
ec84b27f9b3b56 Anna-Maria Gleixner 2018-05-25 623 * any lock that is ever acquired while holding them.

f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 626 * preempted. Therefore, one way to avoid deadlock is to make sure
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 627 * that preemption never happens within any RCU read-side critical
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 628 * section whose outermost rcu_read_unlock() is called with one of
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 629 * rt_mutex_unlock()'s locks held. Such preemption can be avoided in
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 630 * a number of ways, for example, by invoking preempt_disable() before
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 631 * critical section's outermost rcu_read_lock().
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 632 *
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 633 * Given that the set of locks acquired by rt_mutex_unlock() might change
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 634 * at any time, a somewhat more future-proofed approach is to make sure
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 635 * that that preemption never happens within any RCU read-side critical
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 636 * section whose outermost rcu_read_unlock() is called with irqs disabled.
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 637 * This approach relies on the fact that rt_mutex_unlock() currently only
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 638 * acquires irq-disabled locks.
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 639 *
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 640 * The second of these two approaches is best in most situations,
f27bc4873fa8b7 Paul E. McKenney 2014-05-04 641 * however, the first approach can also be useful, at least to those
