Luca Abeni reported this: | BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u8:2/15203/0x00000003 | CPU: 1 PID: 15203 Comm: kworker/u8:2 Not tainted 4.19.1-rt3 #10 | Call Trace: | rt_spin_lock+0x3f/0x50 | gen6_read32+0x45/0x1d0 [i915] | g4x_get_vblank_counter+0x36/0x40 [i915] | trace_event_raw_event_i915_pipe_update_start+0x7d/0xf0 [i915] The tracing events use trace_intel_pipe_update_start() among other events use functions acquire spinlock_t locks which are transformed into sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT. A few trace points use intel_get_crtc_scanline(), others use ->get_vblank_counter() wich also might acquire a sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT. At the time the arguments are evaluated within trace point, preemption is disabled and so the locks must not be acquired on PREEMPT_RT. Based on this I don't see any other way than disable trace points on PREMPT_RT.
