Ok, we agree on the approach, and that the changelog wants a bit of
attention, so either you're gonna rewrite it to suit you, do a pretty
changelog, and I ack, or I take the blame for the posted form, scribble
something that I hope is a better log, and you ack. Either will work.
Here's my changelog+blame-taking, if you're ok with it, ack, and we can
call it a day, otherwise onward to plan B.
irq_work: Delegate non-immediate irq work to ksoftirqd
Based on a patch from Jan Kiszka.
Jan reported that ftrace queueing work from arbitrary contexts can
and does lead to deadlock. trace-cmd -e sched:* deadlocked in fact.
Resolve the problem by delegating all non-immediate work to ksoftirqd.
We need two lists to do this, one for hard irq, one for soft, so we
can use the two existing lists, eliminating the -rt specific list and
all of the ifdefery while we're at it.
Strategy: Queue work tagged for hirq invocation to the raised_list,
invoke via IPI as usual. If a work item being queued to lazy_list,
which becomes our all others list, is not a lazy work item, or the
tick is stopped, fire an IPI to raise SOFTIRQ_TIMER immediately,
otherwise let ksofirqd find it when the tick comes along. Raising
SOFTIRQ_TIMER via IPI even when queueing local ensures delegation.
