From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> The hfi1 driver calls request_threaded_irq with two parameters: handler = receive_context_interrupt; thread = receive_context_thread; request_threaded_irq(me->msix.vector, handler, thread, 0, me->name, arg); And tries to process packets on the hard irq one, receive_context_interrupt(), only waking up the thread (returning IRQ_WAKE_THREAD) when some threshold is crossed in the number of packets available in the NIC, trying to balance latency and bandwidth. But in a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel it ends up calling spin locks from the hard irq handler (receive_context_interrupt) which causes BUGs like this: [ 1002.740581] hfi1 0000:21:00.0: hfi1_0: set_link_state: current ARMED, new ACTIVE [ 1002.740583] hfi1 0000:21:00.0: hfi1_0: logical state changed to PORT_ACTIVE (0x4) [ 1002.740599] hfi1 0000:21:00.0: hfi1_0: send_idle_message: sending idle message 0x203 [ 1002.741873] hfi1 0000:21:00.0: hfi1_0: read_idle_message: read idle message 0x203 [ 1002.741874] hfi1 0000:21:00.0: hfi1_0: handle_sma_message: SMA message 0x2 [ 1002.741923] hfi1 0000:21:00.0: hfi1_0: Switching to NO_DMA_RTAIL [ 1004.744192] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): hfi1_opa0: link becomes ready [ 1167.907754] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 1167.907756] kernel BUG at kernel/rtmutex.c:902!

With this test systems are able to pass traffic over this hardware using a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL patched kernel without triggering these BUGs.
