Enable the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock nesting checks which ensure
that the lock nesting rules for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels are
not violated.
NOTE: There are known nesting problems. So if you enable this
option expect lockdep splats until these problems have been fully
addressed which is work in progress. This config switch allows to
identify and analyze these problems. It will be removed and the
check permanently enabled once the main issues have been fixed.
If unsure, select N.
