SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be acquired with interrupts disabled. Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will ensure that the data is consistent. The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized spinlock_t. This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without causing any warnings. Cc: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com> Cc: "Paul E.

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.
